COLOR CHARACTERISTICS
The LEE Filters 164 Flame Red delivers a profoundly saturated and vibrant red hue. It is characterized by its strong dominance in the red spectrum, effectively suppressing blue and green tones to create a powerful monochromatic red environment or to add a fiery accent when used on specific light sources. This particular shade of red is intense yet clear, avoiding muddiness and maintaining a high level of transmittance within its intended color range. Its depth allows for significant mood shifts, transforming daylight into a menacing or romantic twilight, or rendering skin tones with an aggressive, stylized appearance under red light. The consistency of the color across the filter ensures uniform application and predictable results, critical for professional production environments.
OPTICAL PERFORMANCE
Engineered to meet the stringent demands of professional imaging and lighting, the LEE Filters 164 Flame Red exhibits superior optical performance. The filter material is chosen for its excellent light transmission properties, ensuring that while the color is profoundly altered, the overall light output remains as efficient as possible for a color gel of this saturation. It offers exceptional clarity, preventing any significant degradation in image sharpness or the introduction of unwanted aberrations when placed in front of a lens or light source. The precise manufacturing process guarantees that the gel is free from imperfections, streaks, or inconsistencies that could compromise the quality of the projected light or captured image, thereby upholding the integrity of the scene.
DURABILITY AND APPLICATION
Designed for rigorous professional use, the LEE Filters 164 Flame Red boasts robust construction. It is manufactured from a high-quality, heat-resistant polycarbonate material that can withstand the extreme temperatures often generated by professional lighting fixtures, ensuring a longer lifespan and consistent performance over time. The material is also resistant to tearing and creasing, facilitating easy handling and mounting on various lighting equipment, including studio strobes, continuous lights, and stage lighting instruments. Its flexibility allows for precise shaping and positioning, while its durability means it can be reused across multiple shoots and productions without significant degradation of its color properties or structural integrity, providing excellent value and reliability.
CREATIVE VERSATILITY
The creative potential of the LEE Filters 164 Flame Red is extensive, making it a highly versatile tool for a wide array of applications. In cinematography and photography, it is ideal for generating dramatic mood, simulating firelight, or creating high-impact, stylized portraits and still lifes. For theatre and stage productions, it can transform scenes to evoke passion, anger, urgency, or to establish a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere. Event lighting designers utilize it to create energetic and immersive environments. Its ability to radically shift the perception of color in a scene makes it perfect for expressive lighting setups where color itself becomes a narrative element or a powerful visual statement.
CLASSIFICATION
The LEE Filters 164 Flame Red is classified as a highly saturated, full-color transmission filter within the specialized category of theatrical and photographic lighting gels. It falls under the broader umbrella of subtractive color filters, as it functions by absorbing specific wavelengths of light (primarily greens and blues) while allowing a dominant band of red wavelengths to pass through, thereby imparting a distinct and intense red hue to the light source. As a product of LEE Filters, it is specifically positioned in the premium segment of professional lighting accessories, distinguished by its exacting manufacturing standards, consistent color reproduction, and high-temperature resistance, which collectively ensure its reliability and optical purity for demanding professional applications in film, television, theatre, and commercial photography. Its designation "164" signifies its unique color formulation within LEE's comprehensive range of technical color filters.
