Product Information

Full details

The Litepanels 40-degree Snapgrid Eggcrate is a professional-grade light control accessory designed for videographers and photographers using the Astra 1x1 or Hilio D12/T12 LED panels paired with a Snapbag softbox. Its primary benefit is the ability to drastically reduce light spill and narrow the beam spread, granting users pinpoint control over subject lighting. While it is an essential tool for high-end studio work, it does require a compatible Snapbag softbox to function, making it an additional investment rather than a standalone modification tool.

FAQs

Does this grid work without the Snapbag softbox?

No, this specific Snapgrid is designed exclusively to be mounted onto the face of a compatible Snapbag softbox.

Can I use this with other brands of softboxes?

This product is engineered specifically for Litepanels Snapbag softboxes and may not fit or perform correctly with third-party softboxes.

Does the grid reduce the total brightness of my light?

Yes, because the grid physically blocks a portion of the light to focus the beam, you may experience a slight reduction in overall light intensity compared to an open softbox.

How do I store the grid safely?

The grid is designed to be folded or collapsed carefully. Always store it in the provided protective pouch to maintain its shape.

Will this work with the Astra 1x1 panel directly?

No, it requires the Snapbag softbox, which attaches to the Astra 1x1 first.

Troubleshooting

The Snapgrid is not attaching securely to the softbox.

Ensure the softbox surface is clean and that the hook-and-loop fasteners are fully aligned with the edges of the grid.

The light output appears uneven.

Check that the grid is pulled taut and that no individual cells have become bent or crushed during previous storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly tightens beam angle for professional contrast
  • Easy and fast installation onto existing Snapbag softboxes
  • Lightweight and compact for easy storage
  • Effectively eliminates unwanted light contamination in smaller studio spaces

Cons

  • Requires specific Snapbag softbox for mounting
  • Restricts overall light output due to the grid structure
  • Not compatible with bare LED panels without the softbox accessory

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Snapgrid, simply align the grid edges with the hook-and-loop fasteners on the face of your Snapbag softbox. Press firmly to ensure the grid is taut across the surface of the diffuser. This grid is compatible with Litepanels Astra 1x1 and Hilio D12/T12 setups already equipped with a corresponding Snapbag. To maintain the longevity of the fabric and the grid structure, always store the unit in its provided carrying case when not in use. Avoid folding the grid harshly, as this can deform the internal structure over time. If the grid becomes dusty, use a soft brush or a light, dry cloth to clean the cells.
