This high-quality color correction gel is engineered to finely tune your light sources, providing a subtle yet effective shift in Kelvin temperature without compromising light output or image fidelity. Whether you are correcting for mixed light sources, warming up daylight, or matching various HMI fixtures, the 1/4 CTO delivers consistent, repeatable results that are crucial for achieving your desired aesthetic and maintaining creative control over your visual storytelling.
COLOR CORRECTION PRECISION
The LEE Filters 206 1/4 CTO gel is specifically designed to reduce the color temperature of daylight-balanced light sources by approximately 1000K, effectively warming them up. This 1/4 strength color temperature orange (CTO) filter is ideal for situations where a full CTO or even a 1/2 CTO would be too strong, offering a more nuanced correction. It seamlessly integrates into diverse lighting setups, allowing for subtle adjustments that maintain natural skin tones and bring warmth to otherwise cool environments. Its uniform color consistency across the entire roll ensures predictable and professional results every time, minimizing post-production color grading efforts.
DURABILITY AND OPTICAL INTEGRITY
Crafted from high-quality, durable polyester material, the LEE Filters 206 1/4 CTO roll is built to withstand the rigorous demands of professional production environments. Its robust construction ensures resistance to heat from various light fixtures, providing prolonged usability without fading or cracking. The material exhibits exceptional optical clarity, guaranteeing that the gel does not introduce any unwanted diffusion, distortion, or reduction in light quality beyond its intended color-shifting properties. This commitment to optical integrity means your images remain sharp, clean, and true to your creative vision.
VERSATILE APPLICATION
The complete roll format offers unparalleled flexibility for various applications. Measuring 1.22 meters (48 inches) in width and 7.62 meters (25 feet) in length, it can be easily cut to size to fit any type of lighting fixture, from small LED panels and studio strobes to large theatrical luminaires and HMI lights. This adaptability makes it a staple for on-location shoots, studio setups, and theatrical productions where specific and controlled color warming is required. Its generous dimensions ensure you have ample material for multiple setups or for creating custom diffusion frames and modifiers.
