The Cinegel Tough MTY, 20x24' Color Correction Lighting Filter is designed to correct the color temperature of 5500K white flame arcs and HMI to a warmer 3200K, providing more balanced and natural lighting for your photography or videography projects.
A Mired shift of +131 indicates the extent to which the filter changes the color temperature of the light. In this case, the +131 Mired shift means that the filter significantly warms the light, making it ideal for correcting cooler light sources like white flame arcs and HMI.
The 57% light transmission refers to the amount of light that passes through the filter. This level of transmission ensures that enough light gets through to properly expose your image, while also allowing the filter to effectively correct the color temperature.
Yes, while the Cinegel Tough MTY, 20x24' Color Correction Lighting Filter is specifically designed to correct white flame arcs and HMI, it can also be used with other light sources to adjust their color temperature and achieve more balanced lighting.
A 'deep-dyed base' refers to the process by which the colorant is incorporated into the filter. This process ensures that the color is evenly distributed throughout the filter, resulting in consistent color correction. It also makes the filter more durable and resistant to fading.
