● High temp gel and band are rated for much higher temps than they will ever be exposed to so there’s no worry about melting
Install and Fitment
● Installs on bulb quickly: 1) wrap long part of gel around bulb, tucking end without the top circle piece under the end with the top circle piece, 2) slide rubber band down to base of bulb to hold gel in place, 3) fold circular lid over top of bulb, creasing it to 90 degrees so it lays flat, 4) fold small tab over and crease it to 90 degrees and slip it into the slot to secure the top of the gel in place, 5) spin gel on to align it with the vent holes
●
Precision cut for great fitment with rounded corners to avoid issues with gels tearing,also has vent holes to avoid heat damage to bulb
● Gels can be used along with any Bowens mount modifier or umbrella without interfering with fitment
● Fits the Godox AD400Pro and Flashpoint Xplor 400Pro
Why and How To Use Gels
● Why use gels? To control the color of your strobe lighting for two main reasons:
o Color Correction: to match the color of the ambient light for a natural look
o Creative Color: to add vibrant creative colors that stand out to enhance your photos
● Effects of Color Correction and Creative Color gels
o Green gels help match fluorescent ambient lighting
o CTO (orange) gels help match tungsten ambient lighting
o CTS (straw) gels help warm up the subject to match sunrise/sunset golden hour
o CTB (blue) gels help match to outdoor shade ambient lighting, and can also be used with a specific technique to warm up your background to imitate beautiful golden hour light
o Creative Colors (any color you can imagine—its your art!) can be used as main lights, rim lights, backdrop lights, and more to add splashes of color to your photos in a more stylized way.
