Westcott Deflector Plate for Rapid Box

The Westcott Deflector Plate is a simple but highly effective accessory for shaping the light inside your Rapid Box. By redirecting the light source before it hits the front diffusion, it helps create a more even spread while reducing harsh hotspots for cleaner, more controlled results.

The Perfect Accessory For

  • Users of Rapid Box Speedlite and Switch modifiers
  • Creating more even, controlled soft light
  • Reducing hotspots in softboxes

More Even Light Output

The deflector plate redirects the light back into the softbox before it spreads forward, helping to smooth out the light and reduce the harsh centre hotspot often found with direct flash positioning.

Creative Lighting Control

By changing how the light fills the modifier, this simple addition can subtly shift the look of your lighting, making it more balanced while still retaining contrast and shape.

Quick and Easy Setup

The plate mounts directly onto the internal shaft of your Rapid Box in seconds and can be removed just as easily, making it a practical addition to your kit.

Stella N. ★★★★★

Finally got this to eliminate that harsh hotspot I was fighting in my softbox. The way it softens the light spread is noticeable even in small rooms. Definitely worth picking up for portrait work.

Emily ★★★★★

The way it bounces the light before it hits the softbox makes a real difference in how even the falloff is. It snaps in securely and takes just a few seconds to set up, which is all I wanted.

Samuel G. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this deflector plate to bounce light back into my Rapid Box, and it really softens the shadows without any extra diffusion. The build feels sturdy enough for regular studio use, and it clicks into place with no fuss. Definitely a worthwhile add-on for more controlled lighting.
