andrew ward Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Well done! They probably only come in small sizes and are massively expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Mark Kenfield Posted March 8, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted March 8, 2014 Perhaps have a look at the dopchoice snap grids? They're fast, light and not outrageously priced. Work a treat with 4'x4' knife blade frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew ward Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Im trying to find a cheaper alternative to RichDOPChoice. Also itd be nice to have it on a 3by2 frame and have one on every lamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Mark Kenfield Posted March 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2014 Then perhaps build your own with a bit of fabric and some rigid sections for the top/bottom/sides? There's not exactly a lot that goes into a honeycomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew ward Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sorry i should have specified i also thought McGrid might be good as its hard metal (unless ive misunderstood) not fragile textile, so it saves the hassle you have packing and using 3by2 nets for example. And i couldnt just make it with textile (unless im missing some genius idea youre telling me) as it has to have depth from the source to cut the "spill". Im sure theres a cheap non film industry thing that could be cut to size, just dunno how to find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew ward Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Or are you suggesting sewing a louvre from thick strips? If so, thats a bit of a mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted March 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2014 I just bought layers of the plastic eggcrates that are used on office lighting. You can layer it together for variable angle of occlusion. It's hard to get in black, but I just sprayed it. Not collapsible, sadly. Bit fragile. Works though.

Premium Member Mark Kenfield Posted March 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm suggesting sewing your own, there really isn't much to it. However if you want a rigid one, that'd be even easier to fabricated with tin or another thin metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
