TDS Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Which gel colour would allow me to correct a PAR56 (colour temp of approximately 3000K) to provide a strong white light. It does not have to be daylight, just a good strong white to light up musicians on stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryson Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Well, they're all "white". White is a subjective term. The question is: which colour temperature do you want to achieve? Which "white" is the right one for you? Only you can decide that. Take a look in the swatch book at L201/L202/L203/L218/L281 and decide which works best for you.

gareth Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Leave them open-white. If you have to dim them down a lot and they start to go a bit orange, maybe a bit of L203. But if you want white light purely to illuminate some musicians, just leave it alone. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismca09 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 lee 201, 202, 203, depending on whether you run at full brightness, if you dim, the lower you dim the more orangey you get needing a stronger filter I.e 202, 203, but if your mostly running at full percentage then 201. HTH BTW Lee 130 isn't colour correction! Its clear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Hampson Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 you've got that the wrong way around . the lower the temperature the more blue you need e.g 201.Err No.While a blue tint lamp is generally a cool colour, and an amber a warm colour this is not related to colour temperature in terms of the light source.Think of a candle (~1000K) and a tungsten lamp (3200K), which is more orange, which is the hotter source? In terms of colour temperature yellows are cool and as the temperature increases the source becomes more white, (I.e corrected by a blue filter to remove the yellow tint) the hottest natural source is the sun at about 7000K. Another way to visualise the concept is heating a piece of metal, first it will glow red at about 600 Deg, then as it getts hotter going through orange, yellow etc. (not quite getting to white hot before it melts) There used to be a realy useful picture on the LEE filters site that showed a sliding scale of light sources and it's colour temperature but I can't find it any more.

collism Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 If in doubt I find Lee 201 is in general a decent approximation over a wide range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
