Note:
Never use a plastic filter directly in front of an open faced lamp. This will nearly always cause premature failure because the heat is trapped and it has nowhere to go except to the plastic filter. Always allow a suitable air gap

I found instructions online explaining how to modify a digital camera to take infrared photos. One cheap camera + 30 minutes + this lovely blue filter and it works great!

question

How is this different than the LEE Filters CL181 Cool LED Congo Blue Gel Filter (21 x 24 ) ?
Asked by: Anonymous
In comparison using swatches of each brand, the color is virtually the same. The difference is in terms of how the filters are produced. The Rosco Cinelux filters use a deep dye color process, where embedded dyes are melted together with a plastic base. The Lee Lighting Filters work off of the Cinemoid standard used in the earlier days of gel production. This involves a painted on color onto the plastic. Rosco does offer their E-Colour series which works on the same principle and filter code of the Lee filters. That would be the Rosco E-Colour #181 Congo Blue (21x24 Sheet) B&H # ROE181S, which is sold in quantities of 5 at this time. Please see the image below for reference.
