The Westcott Stripbank 1x4 with Silver Interior is one of an enhanced line of modifiers that perform as admirably as their standard softboxes do, but are also fabricated with structural integrity that, as their 10-year warranty attests, is up to the challenge of years of use. Since longevity is key to the softbox's construction, Westcott uses solid steel rods and extended rod sleeves with reinforced pockets for a tight, smooth fit. Although not made specifically for hot lights, heavy-duty fabrics backed by double-layer heat-resistant technology allow the Stripbank 1x4 to withstand up to 750W. To support this type of use, tent-like vents are installed in the body of the modifier to dissipate heat. The size and shape of this softbox make it ideal for use as a sidelight, hairlight, for groups, or for selective lighting of your subject. Its long, narrow shape creates elegant, attractive highlights on reflective objects.
The Stripbank 1x4's silver reflective interior maximizes your light source's output while the removable front diffuser softens it and produces a flattering quality of light with open shadows and moderate contrast. The diffuser has been thoroughly tested and found to be totally free of color cast. This light modifier also features a recessed touch-fastener edge for quickly mounting the included front diffusion panel and the optional 40-degree egg crate grid.
