About Rosco Roscolux HMI to Tungsten Gel, 20x24"
The Rosco Roscolux HMI to Tungsten gel is a specialized lighting filter used in film, video, and photography to correct color temperature. The 20x24" sheet converts the cool, daylight-balanced light of an HMI fixture (around 5600K) to a warmer, tungsten-balanced look (around 3200K). This is crucial for matching different light sources, such as balancing a daylight-output HMI with warmer, incandescent house lights, to ensure a consistent color and mood.
Manufactured with a durable, heat-resistant, deep-dyed plastic, Roscolux gels are designed to have a long life under hot lights. The standard 20x24" sheet size offers a versatile format that can be used whole or cut to fit smaller light fixtures.
Rosco Roscolux HMI to Tungsten Gel, 20x24" Features
- Color correction: The gel is colored orange and works by a subtractive process, absorbing blue wavelengths from the HMI's light output. This shifts the color temperature to a warmer range, blending the light with warmer tungsten sources or creating a specific aesthetic.
- Balancing mixed lighting: The primary use is to balance a scene when both daylight and tungsten lights are present. For example, using this gel on an HMI outside a window allows its output to match the indoor tungsten lighting.
- Versatile sizing: The 20x24" sheet provides ample material for large fixtures or can be cut to a specific size for smaller lights, barn doors, or other custom applications.
