Lighttools Soft Egg Crates are manufactured in North America by skilled technicians. All products come with a five year warranty that is almost never required.

We used CUfocus® on The Killing. Taking a few steps forward, the subject would come from complete darkness into an 8’x8′ source. With an overhead we were able to quickly keep light off the walls of a small bathroom set. Whenever I stepped past a CUfocus, I flinched, thinking that a lamp went out! They are the ultimate in soft light control.

As a professional photographer, I really enjoy working with top level equipment like Chimera Lightbanks and Lighttools Soft Egg Crates on almost all of my projects,” says Mescalchin. “I can count on these reliable, high precision, easy-to-use light shaping tools. Whether I am working on a single-light setup or a multi-strobe complex scene, it’s all about light control. Using Lighttools means I have every light under control.

Recently the Ultra Soft Egg Crate was the perfect solution. I was working in a situation where the Director of Photography wanted to balance a natural light look with a high contrast stylized outcome. In this case, I began with a skypanel to balance light coming in from a window and used the Lighttools 40 ° Original Soft Egg Crate in black. It turned out to be too much contrast considering the light from the window. I ended up using the 40° Ultra Soft Egg Crate and it worked perfectly — it felt more natural. It was that perfect balance between natural light scatter while introducing contrast with light control.
