What gel to mimic white led shop windows?

[imran qureshi]

I want to mimic light coming from the shop window to the right of this frame, i doubt that the shop light (Co op) is exactly 5600k. I am wondering what gel I could use on my 5600k led lamp to match the co op source?

 

any suggestions much appreciated,

thanks!

I'm not seeing the photo, but you're right in that shop signs may be hard to match. Get an LED with full colour mixing, or get a gel swatchbook and match it by eye. LEDs may react oddly to gels so match it using the actual light you'll be using.

The cheaper older LEDs used in shop windows are probably more like 7000K and green-ish.  I'd probably try either 1/2 or 1/4 CTB and 1/2 or 1/4 Plus Green on a 5600K LED, depending on the look you want.

This. Or if you want a single gel, you could try something like Lee 241 Florescent 57: https://www.leefilters.com/lighting/colour-details.html#241&filter=cf

David’s method will give your more flexibility though, if you’re not sure exactly how much green and blue you want.
