Review Summary
From the renowned Roscolux series, the Light Opal 20x24" Sheet of Light Diffusing Material is a lighter variant of the widely recognized 112 Opal Tough Frost. This high-quality light filter is meticulously crafted using a unique tri-extrusion process, which combines three distinct layers to ensure maximum durability under intense theatrical lighting conditions.
The innovative design of the Roscolux Light Opal incorporates a colored layer sealed between two ultra-thin layers of clear film. This strategic construction minimizes dye migration, thereby extending the filter's effective lifespan. Known as "Supergel" in international markets, Roscolux is currently the most extensively utilized filter range globally, testament to its superior performance and reliability.
The Roscolux Light Opal is composed of two types of plastic, with over 65% of the product made from co-extruded polycarbonate plastic, while the remaining portion is deep dyed polyester. This composition sets it apart from ordinary color filters, which are typically manufactured by surface coating clear polyester plastic film. The Roscolux Light Opal's color is not merely painted onto the surface, which makes it resistant to heat and physical abrasion, preventing quick fading and scratching.
The Roscolux Light Opal is available in sheets of 20in. X 24in. (50cm x 61cm) or rolls of 24in. X 25ft. (61cm x 7.62m). For those requiring larger dimensions, the Cinelux line of filters offers rolls of 48in. X 25ft. (122cm x 7.62m). This versatile light diffusing material is a reliable choice for professionals seeking longevity and consistent performance in their lighting equipment.
