FAQs
What is the main purpose of this light grid?
The main purpose is to tighten the beam of light coming from the Broncolor 90x120cm softbox, providing better control and a sharper cut-off.
Can I use this grid with other softbox sizes?
No, this grid is specifically designed and tested for use only with the Broncolor 90x120cm softbox.
Will this grid make my light harder?
It will make the light slightly less diffuse than the bare softbox, but it still maintains the characteristic soft quality of a softbox, just with more directionality and contrast.
How does the grid attach to the softbox?
The grid typically attaches via Velcro around the edges of the softbox front.
Is the grid difficult to set up?
Setup is generally straightforward, involving attaching the grid to the front of the softbox using its integrated fastening system.
How should I clean the grid?
Clean gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the benefit of a sharper cut-off?
A sharper cut-off allows for more precise lighting control, preventing light from spilling onto unintended areas and helping to shape shadows more deliberately.
Troubleshooting
Grid does not fit securely.
Ensure you are using the correct Broncolor 90x120cm softbox and that the fastening points on both the grid and softbox are clean and free of debris.
Light is still too spread out.
Verify that the grid is fully attached and there are no gaps where light can escape. Check the positioning of your softbox relative to the subject.
Grid appears creased or damaged.
Handle with care during storage and setup. Minor creases may reduce light uniformity. If significantly damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The softgrid is designed to attach directly to the front of the Broncolor 90x120cm softbox. Typically, this involves velco or a similar fastening system integrated into the softbox frame. Ensure the grid is securely fastened all around to prevent light leaks.
Compatibility: This softgrid is specifically designed for the Broncolor 90x120cm softbox. It is not compatible with other sizes or brands of softboxes.
Care: To clean the grid, gently wipe it with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the fabric and affect its light-modifying properties. Store the grid flat or rolled loosely in a protective bag to prevent creasing.
