Product Data Sheet

Lighting Filters (General)

Trade Name : Chris James Lighting Filters

Product type: Coloured Polyester film

Features: Modern formulation allows their extended use in environments of high light intensity and temperature that, a few years ago, was not possible. Chris James filters are based on a tough polymeric film, coated with a dyed lacquer, to the highest standard of accuracy, using computer management systems. The formulae are designed to exploit the high fade-resistance, colour saturation and hue of individual dyes. This, together with the extended ageing of the component polymers and fire resistance to BS3944:1991 pt 1, produces a range that is unequalled. In addition it is important that the Lighting Director has all the information necessary to make his decisions. Chris James filters can give this information in a variety of ways: Percent Transmission, Maximum Absorption at Wavelength R, Colour Temperature, Mired Value, and Stop Value. Also colour can be defined in colour space co-ordinates: Tristimulus Value(XYZ), CieLab(Lab), or CMC(LcH) and Metamerism for various light sources.
