Softbox Octa 150 PRO Grid accessory by GlareOne, model SHGPRO150

The Softbox Octa 150 PRO Grid accessory by GlareOne is a fabric grid designed to fit the GlareOne Octa 150 PRO softbox. It mounts to the softbox front to reduce light spill, increase beam directionality and preserve the soft, even quality of the modifier’s output. The grid provides controlled shaping of light for studio portraiture, product photography and any situation that requires a more focused soft light while maintaining natural falloff and soft shadows.

Advantages

This grid accessory narrows the spread of light without introducing harshness, enabling more controlled highlights and improved contrast. It attaches securely to the front of the Octa 150 PRO and is made from fabric that retains the softbox’s diffusion characteristics. The grid improves directional control, reduces unwanted background illumination and simplifies shaping of light for multi-light setups and accent lighting.

Suitable for

• Studio portrait sessions where tighter control of facial highlights and background spill is needed
• Product photography to isolate subjects and emphasize texture and detail
• Controlled-key lighting and rim or accent lighting in multi-source setups
• Situations requiring improved contrast while preserving soft shadow transitions

Key specifications

• Compatibility: designed for the GlareOne Octa 150 PRO softbox
• Material: light-control fabric grid
• Function: reduces light spill and increases beam directionality
• Effect on light: preserves soft diffusion while tightening beam and increasing local contrast
• Attachment: front-mounted to the softbox for secure fit and quick installation

How to use

Attach the grid to the front of the Octa 150 PRO softbox according to the softbox’s front mounting method, ensuring the grid is centered and tensioned evenly. Place the modified softbox on your light source and position it at the required distance and angle from the subject to achieve the desired beam spread and shadow definition. Use the grid to accentuate directional lighting, create controlled highlights or prevent light from spilling onto the background.

Usage recommendations

Begin with the softbox at a moderate distance from the subject and make incremental adjustments to distance and angle to fine-tune contrast and falloff. Combine the grid with flags or barn doors on other lights for precise multi-light control. For portraits, slightly offset the light to create modeled facial features; for product shots, raise the angle to emphasize texture.
