Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size are the colour gels?

The gels are designed for 21cm (approximately 8.25 inch) reflectors.

How many filters are included in the set?

The set contains 20 colour gel filters.

Do I need any other accessories to use these gels?

Yes, you will need a compatible 21cm Elinchrom reflector and the Elinchrom Lightshaper Carrier.

Can these gels be used with any brand of light?

These gels are specifically designed for Elinchrom 21cm reflectors and are not guaranteed to fit or perform optimally with other brands.

Are the gels heat resistant?

The gels are made from durable material but can be susceptible to heat damage if exposed to very high temperatures for prolonged periods. It's advisable to manage light intensity and duration.

Can I cut the gels to fit smaller reflectors?

While technically possible, cutting the gels is not recommended as it can lead to uneven light distribution and potential fraying of the edges. They are designed for specific 21cm reflectors.

Troubleshooting

Gel doesn't fit reflector

Verify that you are using a compatible Elinchrom 21cm reflector and the correct filter holder slot.

Gel appears faded or distorted

Ensure the gel is not damaged from heat or mishandling. Check for creases or melting.

Colour cast is not as expected

Confirm the correct gel is inserted and that ambient light conditions are not influencing the perceived colour. Adjust light placement or exposure if needed.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure you have a compatible Elinchrom 21cm reflector and the Elinchrom Lightshaper Carrier.
Carefully insert the desired colour gel into the filter holder slot on the reflector.
Mount the reflector onto your Elinchrom lamp head.

Compatibility:

This set is designed for use with Elinchrom 21cm reflectors and the Elinchrom Lightshaper Carrier.
Not compatible with other brands or different-sized Elinchrom reflectors without adapters (sold separately or may not be available).

Care:

Handle gels with clean hands to avoid fingerprints, which can affect light transmission.
Store gels flat in their original packaging or a dedicated filter case to prevent creasing.
Avoid prolonged direct exposure to extreme heat. If using high-wattage lights, consider shorter exposure times or increased distance to prevent melting or warping.
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth if necessary. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
