Westcott Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler Reviews

Westcott Optical Spot is good, B&H handling of the purchase wasn't up to their standard.

By William

Date: 2026-05-11

When I purchased the Westcott optical spot there were only two light mount options available on the B&H order page (Bowens & Profoto). That means I was required to purchase a special-order Balcar light mount for an additional $50. When my order arrived with the Bowens light mount (one of the only two options from B&H) it was packaged in a separate box and labeled as 1 of the 4 available light mount compatible options from Westcott. I needed a Balcar light mount (which was 1 of the 4 compatible Westcott options). Soon after the Westcott optical spot was delivered, the Balcar light mount arrived, SHIPPED DIRECTLY FROM WESTCOTT (since it was a B&H special order). It was packaged in the same type box as the Bowens product. So now I have a brand-new Bowens light mount that was shipped with the optical spot (that is useless to me) and additional Balcar light mount that cost an additional $50. Perhaps B&H could make it clearer that Westcott does have 4 compatible light mounts available, so you don't have to spend an additional $50. I've been dealing with B&H for nearly 10 years, and this is the first time I feel displeased with the transaction.

Finally - a useful lens

I bought one of these when it first came out and sent it back immediately. The 150mm lens was absolutely useless in tighter quarters (and by tight I mean anything but a giant studio). I really didn't feel like buying an EF mount lens since I don't shoot Canon. Really happy to see Westcott offer the 50mm lens option. If you are shooting in anything smaller than a 15x25 foot space this is the way to go. The lens is cheap - but so what. I am debating about picking up an 85mm and thinking I'll just go with one of the cheap cinema lenses with the continuously variable aperture. I took about 80 shots with this when it arrived using a bunch of different gobos and I am happy.

Can I use my Godox DP1000III Professional Studio Flash with this accessory?
Asked by: Francisco
Officially, the Westcott Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler for Bowens (B&H# WEOSLABWNS) says it's for studio strobes up to 600W/s and LED lights up to 100W. The major concern is the amount of heat that is generated inside of this tight-fitting modifier. Having said that, as long as you are not using the incandescent bulb of the Godox DP1000III Professional Studio Flash (B&H# GODP1000III) and you don't use the strobe in a way that results in a buildup of heat then the heat won't be a concern. Please keep in mind that using this in a way that's not consistent with the manufacturer's specifications might void the warranty.

What would be the best source for additional Canon EF lens to use with the Optical Spot?

If you own Canon EF mount lenses, 50, 40 or 35mm prime lenses will create a wider spread than the 150mm lens provided with the Westcott Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler for Bowens.

I have intentions to use this with the 400js and also the Amaran 200d which is rated at 200W COB. Would I be able to use this safely on the Amaran 200d at 50% for continuous light use safely and without affecting warranty, or does adjusting brightness not change the Watt output? Thank you
