Westcott 40° Egg Crate for Strip Bank (12 x 36")
This is a 40° "egg crate" grid for the Westcott 12x36" strip bank softbox.
Grids are essential accessories for any lighting system. A grid alters the shape and intensity of the light output from your softbox when it is mounted on a light head. Consider a grid as a painter would a brush, or a sculptor would a knife, or chisel.
"Egg crates" are rigid, or semi-rigid. Use of an "egg crate" will result in a narrower spread of light. The spread of light will be determined by the density of the honeycomb mesh, and the distance of the subject from the light.

Comments about Westcott 40° Egg Crate for Strip Bank (12 x 36"):
I purchased this for of the 12X36 westcott strip bank. It's durable But flimsy, tricky to attach.
Once in place the entire setup seems very rugged, good quality. I give it four stars because this item is very pricey compared to the stripbank itself. There's about 3 to 6 dollars of material. Go figure

It does what it's suppose to. It controls the light & works great. The price is the problems, should have been included in the kit or been cheaper.

Comments about Westcott 40° Egg Crate for Strip Bank (12 x 36"):
I have had the strip box for some time, but even that sometimes had too much spread. The grid really helps the light fall-off and concentrates the light. I use this with a Nikon SB_800 and it does require a bit of a boost to compensate for some light loss, but no too much. I love it.
