5 Pcs Lighting Gels Filter Transparent Orange Kit,Glod,Full,1/2,1/4,1/8 Cto Color Gels for Photography,Colored Flim for Lights Led Photo Flashlight Strobe 16x20 Inches

I bought an LED floor lamp from Amazon and unfortunately picked the wrong light temperature - the result was a very harsh white light that just didn't work in my room, but it seemed silly to throw out an otherwise working lamp for that reason. It occurred to me that some kind of light filter might help so I got these. The second-lightest filter was perfect, the light is still very bright but much less harsh. I just cut it into the same round shape as my lamp and used double-sided tape to stick it on! (Note this will only work with LED lamps that don't get too hot and have a nice flat surface for the gel.)

These gels are large (16"x20") and they easily cover my 9" reflector. I will use them to cut smaller pieces to fit into my various pieces of lighting. They are thin (i.e. made of polyester) and are comparable to Rosco or Lee filters.I ran a temperature test and placed a piece into the oven. They resist and keep shape until 425F. This is much higher than comparable PVC filters that start becoming malleable and curl up around 225F.

You get 5 gels. They show up all tightly rolled together, unmarked. Once you unpeel them from each other and spread them out, you can identify which is which. Do yourself a favor, grab a Sharpie and label them along the edge. They're not Rosco gels and you're not paying Rosco prices, so let's just manage expectations. Are they going to hold up to lots of abuse? Probably not for long. But, are you going to sob as you're cutting these up to fit various fixtures? You shouldn't. And that's the space these should occupy. They're great for low-budgets, customization, and good results. I already used one for Halloween decorations and didn't even flinch when cutting it up.

As the headline states: The Gels Get The Job DoneYou get a lot for your money. The gels are on the thin side but there are 5 different CTOs gels that are 16x20 inches. The same Rosco gels would cost 5 times the price. I gel my on-camera flash and remote flash during weddings and events. At times it's a 1/2 CTO to match the ambient light and other times it's a full CTO. I don't use hot lights or gel studio strobes much so I can't comment how well the gels handle heat.Can't beat the price!

I pulled out this set of CTO the most often during my last film shoot because I needed a LOT of orange over my "fire flicker" LED panel lights so that they actually looked like the kind of fire I was simulating. I've not actually seen the very dark "Golden Orange" gel in a set like this before (Gold, not "Glod" -- c'mon guys) but it was perfect for a "burning house" effect. Can't have too many different gels!

I’m really impressed with the 5 Pcs Lighting Gels Filter Kit! The transparent orange gels (full, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 CTO) provide excellent color correction for my photography, enhancing the warmth of my images beautifully. The 16x20 inch size is perfect for various lighting setups, and they’re easy to cut if needed. The quality is top-notch, and they’re very durable. This kit is a must-have for any photographer looking to elevate their lighting game!

These will help with matching ambient light when shooting inside on location. I think I can cut each gel in half and use on two larger strobes. Should do the trick

The orange color filters arrived rolled together and unlabeled, but they are easy to identify based on the color. Because it was tightly rolled, the film is not flat if that matters to you. The first outer film had scratches on first few inches, but the other ones were fine, and the scratches didn't seem to have an effect on the light. I tested the full orange under moderately strong light and it didn't burn through. My picture shows the full orange against a white background.
