How does the included grid affect the light output?
▼
The 45° light control grid narrows the beam spread, preventing spill and giving you more directional control over where the soft light falls. This is especially useful for creating edge lighting, hair lights, or isolating light on a subject without illuminating the background.
What are the two diffusion densities included and when would you use each?
▼
The softbox comes with a 1.5-stop and a 2.5-stop front diffusion panel. The 1.5-stop diffuser retains more output for situations where you need brighter, slightly less diffused light, while the 2.5-stop diffuser provides maximum softness at the cost of some light intensity — ideal for close-up portrait work.
What diffusion options are included?
▼
Two front diffusion panels are included — a 1.5-stop diffuser for lighter softening and a 2.5-stop diffuser for more pronounced diffusion. You can use either one depending on your needs.
What is the purpose of the 45° grid?
▼
The included grid narrows the light spread to approximately 45°, giving you directional control to prevent light from spilling onto areas you want to keep dark.
