In the real world, however, grids are very very expensive. However, I've recently bought soft boxes from Amvona where, for example, I got a 54" x 14" strip soft box with grid and speedring, all for $71.00. The grid attaches with velcro.

Thanks for the heads up. Was there any kind of model number on that package? I didn't see a grid included on their strip light that I just looked at.
