Color filters are a very
effective tool used to fine tune and enhance a lighting
design. It is often this additional level of detail that
distinguishes a great lighting design from the rest.
Filters can enhance depth perception, conjure up a moonlit
garden illusion, add drama, accent a focal point, or add a
festive, seasonal touch. The possibilities are endless. To
simplify the selection, a few guiding principles drawn from
Auroralight’s extensive experience are summarized below.
Auroralight offers dichroic glass filters for superior
performance over conventional colored glass filters.
-
Subtle shift in
color between foreground and background elements in a
landscape adds to depth perception. Use #1 or #2 filter
combinations.
These filters are
not saturated enough to produce a noticeable color
effect. Select 2 or more filters for best contrast.
-
Highlighting a
single specimen with the same filter combination as
above will add interest to the individual plant,
producing an intriguing color play of different-hued
highlights.
-
A landscape focal
point can be enhanced by adding one or more subtle color
filters (#1, #2), or a saturated color (#3, #4) for a
more dramatic effect.
-
Our darkest filters
(#3, #4) are selected for their appealing color and the
best balance between saturation and light output. Use
when a vibrant color effect is desired, especially for
seasonal, festive occasions, or permanent installations
such as a water feature.
-
Light blue filters
(B1, B2) emulate the quality of sun and moon light,
helping plants appear lush and healthy. Also use to
“whiten” halogen light or emulate ceramic metal halide
sources.
-
Our light yellow
filters (Y1, Y2) warm up the light beam and flatter the
skin. Use to make people look good, such as inside a
gazebo or patio. Also use to lower color temperature and
emulate incandescent sources.
-
Select a green
filter to enhance the green of foliage. Also use to
emulate fluorescent and mercury vapor sources.
