Learn how to attach and adjust the Godox Grid for TL120 tube light to control spill and shape your RGB lighting for video and photo shoots.
Quick answer
The Godox Grid for TL120 narrows the beam of your RGB tube light, reducing spill and giving you more control over where the light falls. Attach it in seconds using the built-in mounting tabs, then rotate the grid to adjust the light pattern.
Why use a grid on a tube light?
A tube light like the Godox TL120 naturally spreads light in a wide 360-degree pattern. While that’s great for ambient fill, it can wash out your subject or create unwanted spill on walls and backgrounds. A grid modifier narrows the beam angle, making the light more directional without losing the soft quality that makes tube lights popular.
What the Godox Grid for TL120 does
The grid attaches directly to the TL120’s housing and uses a honeycomb pattern to restrict light output to roughly a 45-degree beam. This lets you highlight a specific area—like a product on a table or a model’s face—while keeping the rest of the scene darker. Because it’s designed specifically for the TL120, it fits securely without extra straps or Velcro.
Steps to attach and use the Godox Grid for TL120
- Step 1: Align the grid with the tube light: Hold the grid so its mounting tabs face the TL120’s end caps. Slide the grid over the tube until the tabs click into the grooves on both sides of the light housing. If the grid doesn’t slide on easily, check that you’re not twisting it—the tabs only lock in one orientation.
- Step 2: Rotate the grid to shape the beam: Once attached, gently rotate the grid around the tube. The honeycomb pattern will change the direction of the restricted beam. Rotate until the light hits your subject exactly where you want it. Rotating too quickly can loosen the grip—turn slowly and test the light pattern with a quick flash or continuous output.
- Step 3: Lock the grid in place: Most TL120 grids have a friction fit, but if you feel movement, tighten the small locking screw (usually near one of the tabs) with your fingers. Avoid over-tightening—it only needs to be snug. Over-tightening can strip the plastic threads. Stop as soon as you feel resistance.
- Step 4: Adjust your light placement: With the grid on, the beam is narrower, so you may need to move the light closer or farther from your subject to get the coverage you want. Test with a stand or handheld position before locking everything down. A common mistake is leaving the light too far away—move it in small increments (6-12 inches) and check the effect on your subject.
