LED Soften Gel Kit

Have harsh, cool white LEDs that need warming up? Check out our Guide to Warming Up LED Lights

This kit contains 4 sheets (21 inches x 24 inches) of the most common lighting gels used to soften the harsh light produced by many LEDs.

The four different colours provided each have slightly different properties, to allow for experimentation to find the best end result. Different LEDs all produce slightly different colour output, and different diffusions and shades might match slightly better than others depending on the surroundings and setting. The kit contains both a selection of diffuse gels to soften and spread the light produced from the LEDs and neutral dim gels to lower the brightness of the LED without changing the colour.

The sheets are made from a soft acetate type material, manufactured with the latest dye formulations and bonding technology to assure the highest levels of reliability and performance. They can easily be cut to shape using scissors or a knife, and so are suitable for use with many different sizes and applications where LED lights have been or are to be installed.

The best method to attach the gel very much depends on how the LEDs are installed. The sheets of gel are not adhesive, but often LEDs are installed in such a way that they are in a fixture / fitting that could also accept the cut gel. Some also have a cover that the gel can be inserted behind. If not, the gel is quite light and so can alternatively be taped over the LED either using double sided tape, or normal adhesive tape depending on where / how they are installed.

As suggested with all of our lighting gels, although the gel contains heat resistant properties, we strongly advise against installing the gel in any location whereby it could be touching a hot light source, or blocking any air vents or preventing air flow around a light designed to cool the light. If in any doubt, consult a qualified technician.
