COLOUR CHARACTERISTICS
The LEE Filters 139 Primary Green provides a deeply saturated, pure green colour. This specific shade is formulated to deliver a strong, unambiguous green effect, making it ideal for a wide range of applications from theatrical mood lighting to special effects in film and television production. Its primary nature ensures that it does not lean towards yellow or blue, offering a true and consistent green output. This precise colour allows for accurate colour mixing when combined with other primary gels, facilitating the creation of a vast spectrum of colours for sophisticated lighting designs. The gel effectively subtracts red and blue light, allowing predominantly green wavelengths to pass through, thereby producing a distinct and impactful visual result.
MATERIAL AND DURABILITY
Manufactured from high-quality, heat-resistant polycarbonate, the LEE Filters 139 Primary Green gel is designed to withstand the intense thermal output of professional lighting fixtures without fading, burning, or cracking prematurely. This advanced material composition ensures exceptional longevity and colour stability over prolonged periods of use, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintaining consistent light quality throughout a production. The roll format allows for custom cutting to fit various fixture sizes and shapes, providing maximum adaptability. Its robust nature also makes it resistant to minor abrasions and tears during handling and setup, ensuring its integrity on set or stage.
APPLICATION AND VERSATILITY
The complete roll format of the LEE Filters 139 Primary Green offers immense flexibility for diverse lighting scenarios. It can be cut to precisely fit standard colour frames for spotlights, floodlights, and par cans, or used to create larger custom shapes for cyc lights, soft boxes, or practical fixtures. This primary green gel is particularly effective for creating naturalistic foliage effects, simulating digital screen glows, or evoking specific emotional responses in theatrical productions. In film, it is frequently employed for green screen applications when precise colour separation is critical, or for adding stylistic colour accents to key scenes. Its consistent transmission properties make it suitable for both static and dynamic lighting setups, allowing for seamless integration into complex DMX-controlled systems.
LIGHT TRANSMISSION AND DENSITY
The LEE Filters 139 Primary Green is engineered with a specific density to provide a strong colour shift while maintaining a usable light output. While specific transmission percentages can vary slightly based on the light source and measurement methodology, this gel is designed to offer a significant green effect. The density is carefully balanced to ensure that the resultant green light is both vibrant and controllable, preventing over-saturation or an overly dark appearance. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where distinct colour is required without excessive light loss, allowing lighting designers to achieve impactful visuals while still providing adequate illumination.
CLASSIFICATION
The LEE Filters 139 Primary Green, offered as a complete roll, unequivocally falls into the category of professional theatrical and photographic lighting gels, specifically as a "Colour Correction and Special Effects Filter." This classification highlights its dual utility: while primarily a vibrant special effects gel designed to introduce a strong, pure green hue for creative or atmospheric purposes, its precise spectral transmission also allows it to be used in more technical applications such as colour correction for specific light sources or for chroma keying (green screen) in film and video production. Its complete roll format further positions it as a bulk consumable for professional lighting departments, production companies, and rental houses that require large quantities of material for custom cuts and extensive setups, distinguishing it from pre-cut sheets or smaller packs intended for individual users or smaller fixtures. The product's heat-resistant polycarbonate construction and consistent colour characteristics reinforce its standing as a high-quality, durable filter designed for demanding, professional-grade lighting environments across live performance, film, television, and architectural illumination.
