Lighting gels for colour correction of video lights

4 posts
  1. Hi All,

     

    I'm looking for a lighting gel to warm LED light from 8500K to around 4500 K. Does anyone know of the appropriate Lee (or similar) lighting gel? I'm sure they have one that does the job, among the myriad colours they do.

     

    Thanks

  2. Ferg, you sure it's not 6500? Anyhow, Lee has a mired shift calculator on their website and will recommend based on what you input.

  3. Thanks Drew,

     

    Yes, it's for the Fisheye fix 1000DX, which list colour temp as 8500-9000K. They do their own filter holder and correction filters, but lighting gels cost peanuts, and I want to experiment a bit before I splash out. Plugged the values into the mired shift calculator, giving a value of +104, so the nearest would be a Lee 205 Half C.T. orange (for anyone else who ever wants to do this!).

  4. Don't forget it'll eat about 1 stop of light at least.
