Fluorescent Light Filters
Standard U.S. Cool White fluorescent bulbs offer a good approximation of daylight except for their distinct green cast. When Cool White fluorescents are encountered in film or video, two color correction techniques are available: either balance all other sources to the fluorescents, or balance the fluorescents to the reference source. All rolls are 48" x 25' (122 cm x 7.6 m).

No. 3304 Tough Plusgreen Converts daylight to match Cool White fluorescents. Equivalent to CC30 Green.
No. 3315 Tough 1/2 Plusgreen Adds partial green to daylight and 3200ºK sources for balancing with fluorescents and discharge lamps. Equivalent to CC15 Green.

Tungsten Conversion Filters
Tungsten Conversion Filters are a range of blue filters that raise color temperature as needed. Although typically used on tungsten-halogen sources to balance with daylight, the range offers a multitude of technical and aesthetic color correction possibilities. The material is deep-dyed for heat stability and superior color transmission. Rolls are 48" x 25' (122 cm x 7.6 m).

The light source, diffusion position, dolls and shadow-casting film reel were constant in all of the photos. Notice how differently Tough Silk, Tough Frost and Opal Tough Frost altered the shadows.
