While creating the perfect mood and ambiance in photography and theatrical productions, lighting is a critical component. The Roscolux Gypsy Lavender, measuring 20x24 inches, is a color effects lighting filter designed to enhance your lighting setup with a highly saturated hue that is ideal for side and backlighting, as well as producing non-realistic effects with a 4% light transmission.
Crafted with Rosco's premier technology, the Roscolux range stands out for its durability and longevity, especially under the rigorous conditions of hot theatrical lights. This filter benefits from a tri-extrusion process that combines three discrete layers, effectively sealing the colored layer between two microscopically thin layers of clear film. This innovative construction significantly reduces dye migration and extends the effective life of the filter, ensuring that your lighting effects remain consistent and vibrant over time.
Roscolux filters, known internationally as "Supergel," are celebrated as the most widely utilized filter range across the globe, testament to their quality and reliability. The materials used in the Roscolux line include over 65% co-extruded polycarbonate plastic, renowned for its exceptional heat resistance and toughness. The remaining filters are crafted from deep-dyed polyester, which provides rich, enduring colors.
Unlike ordinary color filters that are manufactured by simply coating a clear polyester plastic film, Roscolux filters are engineered to withstand the challenges of heat and physical abrasion. Traditional surface-coated filters can quickly succumb to fading and scratching as the dye is more exposed and vulnerable. Roscolux's advanced manufacturing process ensures that the color remains vibrant and the filter's performance is maintained over time.
The Roscolux Gypsy Lavender filter is available in convenient sheets of 20x24 inches (50cm x 61cm), making it easy to handle and install. For larger scale requirements, Roscolux filters also come in rolls of 24 inches by 25 feet (61cm x 7.62m). For those in need of even larger dimensions, the Cinelux line offers filters in rolls of 48 inches by 25 feet (122cm x 7.62m), providing versatile options for a variety of lighting scenarios.
Whether you're a professional photographer, cinematographer, or stage designer, the Roscolux Gypsy Lavender lighting filter is an essential tool for creating visually stunning and artistic lighting effects.
