Description  
The Westcott Box comes with a fabric shell with either a white or silver interior. Both boxes have an  
internal baffle, exterior diffusion panel, four support rods and a storage bag. The flaps in the back are  
made of flame-retardant material to withstand heat up to 1000 watts and have hook and loop tape tab  
closures. If overheating is a concern, the Box’s unique design allows heat to escape by opening the flaps  
in the back of the unit or opening the 2 (tent style) heat vents.

INSTRUCTIONS  
To assemble the Westcott Box, a speed ring must be used (the Westcott Spiderlite& Spiderlite TD5 is an  
exception as the rod holes are built into the light head). The speed ring needed to mount the Box is the model of  
speed ring that fits the particular light that is used. After the Westcott Box has been mounted onto the speed ring,  
fasten the speed ring onto the light. Westcott Boxes may also be mounted onto other speed rings on the market.  
To mount the speed ring onto the Westcott Box, insert the support rods into the rod sleeves in the corner of the  
fabric shell of the Box all the way into the end of the pockets. Before putting on the exterior diffusion panel,  
place the Box onto a table or the floor and spread rods apart so the Box is rectangular in shape. Insert one rod into  
the hole marked R1 of the speed ring. While pressing down on the speed ring, insert the next rod into hole R3.  
The pressure exerted on the speed ring should be enough to bring the speed ring down to easily guide the next rod  
into place. Bend the rod directly beside the second one to coincide with the angle of the hole R2 in the speed ring.  
(You should be inserting the rods in the direction of a figure eight, ending with the rod that was directly beside the  
first rod inserted). Slide the remaining rod end into the hole marked R4 of the speed ring. **Note that all rods  
must be seated completely into the holes of the ring.  
After the Westcott Box is mounted onto the speed ring, mount the Box and speed ring onto the light stand. The  
internal baffle may now be snapped into place. DO NOT USE THE INNER BAFFLE WITH A BULB OVER  
500 WATTS. 500-WATT BULB CAN BE USED WITH BAFFLE IN BOXES MEDIUM SIZE OR LARGER  
ONLY.  
Next, the external diffuser may be fastened onto the front of the unit. The external diffusion panel can be used in  
either the recessed or flat front positions. The speed ring should also allow the Westcott Box to turn from a long  
profile to a wide profile even after it is mounted on the light.
