Rosco Opti-FLECS 9216 - ND Frost - 30x30cm

The more prevalent LEDs and Solid State lighting becomes in our marketplace, the stronger the demand for solutions to the inherent light-output issues that accompany this technology becomes. White LEDs of any color temperature often contain an overabundance of green light energy and lack the critical parts of the spectrum that make light attractive on skin tones and architectural surfaces. A common description of LED light is that it looks "sterile" or "flat" and that illuminated objects or people appear sallow or lifeless.

Opti-Flecs lighting control filters provide cost-effective, easy-to-use solutions to enhance the beam-quality of any LED source. This range of semi-rigid filters is comprised of several unique diffusion options for softening the oftentimes harsh, directional beam produced by LED lights and a collection of color filters that target specific spectral spikes and output anomalies often found in solid state fixtures.

The Opti-Flecs diffusion range allows users to control the output of a white or color-mixing LED fixture by softening, blending or spreading its beam. These filters are also helpful in reducing 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.

In Architectural Installations:
The Opti-Flecs range of LED filters is an excellent choice to aid in the design of an architectural project. Opti-Flecs can be used to enhance skin tones of customers in a retail store, balance the output of LEDs with other sources or reduce glare and hotspots inside a display case.

For Film/TV/Broadcast:
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. Opti-Flecs 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.

For Photography:

• Reduce glare and harsh shadows created by directional LED sources.
• Soften output to eliminate multiple shadows typical of fixtures using LED arrays.
• Highly efficient beam shaping filters serve as lens solutions shaping and spreading light in a predicatble pattern.
• Correct distorted beam pattern produced by some LED fixtures.
• Lessen the impact of the blue and green spike commonly found in cool white LED sources. Especially useful in broadcast and photographics applications.
• Enhance skin tones or add warmth and richness on lit objects.
• Color frame unnecessary in most instances.

The Opti-Flecs material is 13 mil (0.013 inches, .33mm) thick. The semi-rigid nature of the product offers a protected, reusable filter solution that can be inserted into a multitude of LED fixtures used on-stage, in broadcast studios or in architectural installations.

Optimal Working Temperature Range: -35°F - 240°F

Note: This product is intended for use on low-heat LED sources only, and is not suitable for use on high heat fixtures. OPTI-FLECS filters are designed to be installed externally and are not intended to be used as an internal fixture component where higher operating temperatures may be present.

Product Installation:

• For best results, install the filter as far away from the emitter as possible.
• Install the diffusions with the smooth side facing the source.

Care & Maintenance:

• Color filters and Powder Frost may be cleaned with mild soap and clean water.
• Other diffusions may be cleaned with mild soap and clean water on smooth side.
