Full details

The Westcott Creative Color Gel Pack is an essential accessory for portrait and creative photographers using the Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler.

FAQs

Can I use these gels with other lighting modifiers?

No, these are specifically sized (2.5 inches) for the Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler and will not fit standard strobe reflectors or other light modifiers.

Are these gels heat-resistant?

They are designed to be used with the LED or flash modeling lamps within the Optical Spot. Avoid leaving them in place for extended periods with high-wattage continuous hot lights.

Can I stack multiple gels to create new colors?

Yes, you can experiment with overlapping gels to create unique color mixtures, though note that this may reduce the overall light output.

Are the gels durable?

They are made of high-quality material meant for repeated use, but they can scratch or crease if handled improperly.

Does this pack include a holder?

No, the gels are designed to be used with the gel holder already integrated into the Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler system.

Troubleshooting

Color appears washed out or uneven

Ensure the gel is pushed fully into the holder and is sitting perfectly flat against the projection path.

Light projection has unwanted artifacts

Check the surface of the gel for dust, lint, or fingerprints and wipe clean with a microfiber cloth.
