Egg crate is used on the front of which light to control beam spread?

• A. Zip light
• B. Fresnel
• C. Leko
• D. PAR can

Answer: (A)

Egg crate grids are honeycomb inserts placed in front of a light to trim the beam. They block light that would spill to the sides, narrowing the cone of light and reducing glare, which gives you tighter, more directional control without moving the light or changing diffusion. A Zip light is a compact fixture where this front-grid option is commonly used to gain that extra directional control. Fresnels and Lekos already offer built‑in shaping tools (barn doors, shutters, lenses), so adding a front grid isn’t as typical or necessary. PAR cans are usually managed with barn doors or diffusion as well, whereas the grid on the front of a Zip light provides a simple, effective way to tighten the beam for confined spaces or focused lighting.
