With the rise of LED and Solid State lighting technology, the need for effective solutions to address their inherent light-output issues has never been greater. The OPTI-FLECS 9416 - 1/2CTO 30x30cm Sheet, a product of the reputable brand Rosco, is a high-quality, durable, and versatile color correction filter designed to tackle these challenges head-on.
White LEDs, regardless of their color temperature, often emit an excess of green light energy and lack the essential parts of the spectrum that render light appealing on skin tones and architectural surfaces. This can result in a "sterile" or "flat" appearance, making illuminated objects or people seem sallow or lifeless. The OPTI-FLECS 9416 - 1/2CTO 30x30cm Sheet is specifically designed to address these issues, providing a cost-effective, easy-to-use solution to enhance the beam quality of any LED source.
This professional-grade filter is part of a range of semi-rigid filters that offer unique diffusion options for softening the often harsh, directional beam produced by LED lights. It also includes a collection of color filters that target specific spectral spikes and output anomalies commonly found in solid-state fixtures.
The OPTI-FLECS 9416 - 1/2CTO 30x30cm Sheet allows users to control the output of a white or color-mixing LED fixture by softening, blending, or spreading its beam. It effectively reduces glare from harsh, overly-directional fixtures. The colors in the OPTI-FLECS range are carefully selected tints and hues that filter out the problematic spectral spikes inherent in the output of most white LEDs, allowing the most attractive wavelengths to shine through.
Whether you're working on an architectural project, a film/TV/broadcast production, or a photography shoot, the OPTI-FLECS 9416 - 1/2CTO 30x30cm Sheet is an excellent choice. It can enhance skin tones in a retail store, balance the output of LEDs with other sources, reduce glare and hotspots inside a display case, or correct the problematic color-rendering aspects of LED lighting in a film or photo shoot.
The low-heat feature of LED lights means that gel is not an expendable any more - it's an accessory, just like a scrim or a barn-door. The OPTI-FLECS 9416 - 1/2CTO 30x30cm Sheet is a semi-rigid filter that offers cinematographers, gaffers, and lighting directors a durable, reusable solution for correcting the problematic color-rendering aspects of LED lighting. The CTO's, Minusgreens, and Neutral Densities are excellent tools for balancing LED lights - notably the green spike that traditional Minusgreens don't properly address. The diffusions and tints are perfect for softening the harsh output of an LED source and for enhancing the skin tones of on-screen talent.
In conclusion, the OPTI-FLECS 9416 - 1/2CTO 30x30cm Sheet is a versatile, efficient, and professional solution for all your LED lighting needs.
