Was unsure where to post this so I hope it's ok to be posted here.

I'm interested In purchasing these tubes. I'm leaning towards the 5600k ones. Question is, how would I go about applying a tungsten gel (or any other color for that matter)to them? Any recommendations of where to buy gel for these types of lights?

You could get their "cross fade" selection which would give you "salt & pepper" combination in one light (if need be). They also come with an a/c power adapter.

Sounds like a winner if I can actually find them in stock somewhere. The stores they claim to be reselllers don't have them. Will call today and see if the actual company has stock. Thanks!

The difference between $75 and $275 per light lol oh, and the $75 tubes also come with power cords. Although, quite short.
 


I don't even think they sell to US as the where to buy page doesn't have USA listed.

Far as the lee filters. Lol. You can't buy direct, must buy from a reseller, but the resellers don't stock the tubes they have to be custom ordered smh. So the option is to buy a roll of like 24' which is about $170+. I think 24' x48" should last me a while lol. Can't believe something as simple as a CTO for these lamps are this hard to come by. Oh well. I'll probably end up just buying the sheet. Too bad. Wouldn't have minded grabbing a couple other colors as well, but at $170+ a roll being their only size rolls. I may have to pass on the extra colors.

As i'm UK based, i'm directed to the EMEA site. If you search for them you'll find them. Lee filters are based in the UK, but sell via resellers, and Rosco are Canadian based, so that's your best best i'd say.
 
Ah this is interesting. Looking into this myself.

Just now noticing this. Ok thanks. They do actually have a US site and locations close that they claim sell the tube sleeves. I appreciate the recommendation. Hopefully they're not special order or anything. Thanks again!
 
Yeah I emailed them myself, and you buy them directly with Lee UK through email. Now only figuring out which filter we need for 5600k to 3200k as it seems not listed on the lee site. May order a sodium vapor one as well.
 
The T8 tubes are apparantly not selling in the EU..
