Westcott 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid Rapid Box Switch 1'x3'

The Westcott 40-Degree Egg Crate Grid for the Rapid Box Switch 1 x 3 is designed to give you tighter, more controlled light without sacrificing the soft quality you expect from a strip softbox. By narrowing the beam angle to 40 degrees, it helps contain light spill, reduce flare, and keep illumination exactly where you want it. Ideal for more precise lighting setups, this grid is quick to attach, easy to pack away, and built to handle regular use on location or in the studio. It is a simple but effective way to add control and consistency to your lighting.

Aurora S. ★★★★★

Finally, I can control the spill on my stripbox for headshots—the difference in background falloff is immediately noticeable. The grid attaches securely with no light leak, and it folds flat for storage.

Samuel R. ★★★★★

That 40-degree grid tames my stripbox perfectly for hair-light placement, narrowing the falloff just enough to keep spill off the background. Snaps into the Rapid Box Switch in seconds and the fabric feels sturdy, nothing flimsy about it.

Sofia D. ★★★★★

This grid cuts the light spill exactly where I need it for portrait work, and the switch design makes attaching it to the softbox a breeze. It barely adds any weight to the setup, which is a huge plus for long shoots.
