Product Information
Full details
The Broncolor 40 Degree Light Grid for Para 88 is a specialized light-shaping tool designed for professional photographers who require precise beam control and dramatic lighting effects when using the Para 88 reflector system. This accessory narrows the light output to create a focused, high-contrast beam, making it an essential addition for portrait, fashion, and product photography. While it provides excellent directionality and keeps light spill to a minimum, it is important to note that it requires careful placement to avoid unintended sharp shadows due to the 40-degree beam angle.

FAQs
Can this grid be used with the Para 133 or Para 222?
No, this specific 40-degree grid is engineered exclusively for the Para 88 reflector system.
How much light loss should I expect when using the grid?
Using any grid will reduce the overall light output; you should expect to increase your flash power or aperture slightly to compensate.
Does the grid affect the quality of light?
It narrows the beam and increases contrast but maintains the characteristic, high-quality light distribution of the Para system.
Is the grid easy to attach during a shoot?
Yes, it is designed for quick mounting and removal to keep up with fast-paced studio workflows.
How should I clean the honeycomb cells?
Use a gentle blast of air or a soft-bristled brush. Do not use liquids or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Uneven light pattern or strange shadows
Ensure the grid is fully seated and perfectly centered on the Para 88 front rim.
Grid feels loose or unstable
Check the mounting clips on the Para 88 to ensure they are not bent and are providing adequate tension against the grid frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the grid, align the accessory with the front rim of the Para 88 reflector and secure it firmly. Ensure the grid is seated evenly to avoid uneven beam patterns. The grid is strictly intended for use with the Broncolor Para 88 system and should not be forced onto other reflectors. Regarding care, always handle the grid by its edges to prevent fingerprints or oils from building up on the internal surfaces. When not in use, store the grid in a protective case to prevent bending or denting of the honeycomb cells. If dust accumulates, use a gentle blast of compressed air to clean the individual grid openings.
