About the Gels & Diffusion range

Choose the effect and light loss you need first. Colour gels change the light's appearance for creative effects or colour correction. Diffusion spreads the beam and softens shadows, while a dome or fabric can create a broader source. Diffusion strength is often listed in stops, with higher values reducing more light. For fabric, check the material type, dimensions and whether a frame or support is included. For filters, compare the number of pieces, colour range, shape and attachment method. A larger modifier also needs a suitably rated stand and enough clearance around the fixture.

Compatibility is the main buying trap. A dedicated dome, silicone diffuser or filter set may fit only the named light or attachment, so match the exact model before ordering. Do not assume filters are interchangeable because two lights look similar. Check the mount, accessory ring, diameter, dimensions and heat clearance. This range includes fixture-specific accessories, filter kits and larger fabrics, such as a 1.8 m by 1.8 m butterfly silk. Review the product page for included parts and dispatch time before purchase.

Gels & Diffusion questions

What is the difference between a lighting gel and diffusion?

A gel is a coloured or effects filter that changes the light's colour or appearance. Diffusion is translucent material that spreads light, reduces contrast and softens shadows. Some products combine both functions, but a colour gel will not provide the same softening as a diffuser.

How much light does diffusion remove?

The amount depends on the diffuser material and its stated stop rating. A higher stop value generally means greater light reduction and softer output. Allow for this when setting exposure or increasing the light level, and check the product specifications before choosing between diffuser strengths.
