M Joel W Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm shooting some content just for fun and I have currently have a tungsten kit and a daylight kit. I get it, tungsten looks way better. But for non-serous work, how terrible would it be to instead put CTO on my daylight LEDs? They're mostly consumer-grade, but 95+ CRI. Will they match? Will this be a total disaster or will it sort of work? Again, the goal isn't perfection but adequacy.... moving target, I know. Shooting with C100 and EVA1. Thanks.

Bruce Greene Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It depends on the lamp. I've seen some pretty bad results from doing this, with the lamps often photographing as rather green/yellow. I would suggest testing before shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted July 18, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted July 18, 2019 Lee Filter has their Zircon range which is intended to work better with LEDs. I have a pack of it here which includes a few orange grades and it seems to avoid daylight LEDs going that sickly yellow-green colour that Bruce describes, but I would also suggest careful testing.

Thank you, this might be the ticket. This project is for fun/on spec with no crew. Would shoot properly for a proper project. Will also test to see if the result is acceptable.
