A swatch book of light filters is a nice-to-have in an arsenal of a flashlight modder.
In case someone wants to grab one, LeeFilters USA has designer swatch books on sale for $0.01 (normal price $2)
Donāt worry djozz. I actually ordered two (max allowed). Once I get mine, you can have one of the swatch books. Just cover the shipping from Denmark.
It is a sample book with all the colour filters that Lee produces. These filters are usually used for theater lighting, in front of a spotlight.
Use for flashlights is limited, you can create and alter tints with them, at the cost of light output. The sample filters in this book are large enough for most smaller flashlights. For me it is a nice thing to have, but I will probably not use it much for anything.
Got the Lee filter samples from Valor today. Tried it with a diffused Xiaomi USB light, that has a greenish tint (gets worse with higher output modes). Measured on the highest of the five modes.
The diffusing filters (a lot of different kinds) also seem very cool.
Three different minus green filters tested: minus eighth, quarter and half.
Light loss

Color temperature shifts a bit lower with the filters. Hereās the CRI data.
