Reflector Grids - Shape and Control Your Studio Lighting
Reflector grids help photographers and videographers fine-tune their lighting by narrowing the beam spread and directing light precisely where it's needed. These tools are essential for creating dramatic effects, highlighting subjects, or controlling spill in complex lighting setups. At Samy's Camera, we offer a broad selection of grids designed for reflectors of all sizes. For full lighting control, pair your grid with Soft Boxes & Accessories to build a professional, flexible studio kit.
How reflector grids elevate your lighting control
Reflector grids (also called honeycomb grids) create focused light by funneling the beam into a controlled pattern. This reduces light spill and adds depth, allowing you to sculpt highlights or isolate your subject from the background. Grids are widely used in portrait, fashion, and product photography to achieve refined, consistent lighting. To round out your studio setup, many creators also rely on Photography Backgrounds & Accessories for backdrop management and scene design.
Popular Types of Reflector Grids
Honeycomb Grids
These classic grids create a tight beam of light with soft edges. They're available in varying degrees (e.g., 10°, 20°, 40°) depending on how narrow or wide you want your light pattern.
Snap-On and Magnetic Grids
Designed for quick setup, these grids attach easily to compatible reflectors and modifiers. They're ideal for fast-paced shoots or mobile studio environments.
Grid Sets with Modifiers
Some kits include grids paired with reflectors or snoots, giving you an all-in-one solution for spotlight-style lighting and accent work.

Reflector Grids FAQs
What degree grid should I choose?
Lower degrees (e.g., 10°) create a tighter, more focused beam. Higher degrees (e.g., 40°) allow for a wider spread while still offering directional control.
Can I use reflector grids with any light?
Reflector grids must match the reflector or modifier's size and mount. Always check compatibility with your specific strobe or continuous light system.
Are grids only for studio photography?
While grids are most common in controlled environments, many portable options exist for on-location shoots where precise lighting is still essential.
