How to Read an SED curve
The spectral energy distribution curve of each filter describes the wavelengths of colour transmitted throug the individual filters. For example, Supergel #312 transmits approximately 80% of the red and green energy above 500nm in the spectrum but only a small amount of deep blue/indigo. The result is a strong, clean yellow colour with just enough blue to prevent it from becoming an acid yellow like Supergel 10.

The Transmission Percentage refers to overall light transmission that is allowed to pass through each individual filter, based on a Tungsten light source, Illuminant A.

DURABILITY
The life of colour filters depends on many variables: the colour, the instrument and lamp used, the dimmer level, and the amount of time the light is running. For these reasons it is impossible to assign a "life" for each filter. However some basics knowledge and experience can help with estimates. Dark green and dark blue filters usually burn out the fastest because they absorb the most infrared energy. Absorbing the extra infrared energy causes the plastic to reach its melting temperature faster. When darker, more saturated colours are needed try to select a colour that transmits high amounts of energy above the 700 nm range. You can find this information by looking at the Spectral Energy Distribution (S.E.D.) curve located in the swatchbook or click on the graph next to each colour, below. 700 nm may also transmit high levels in the infrared range above 700 nm.

To prolong the life of a colour filter, align your ellipsoidal lamp to a flat field focus, in order to eliminate the hot spot. Increasing the distance between the lamp and the filter by using a top hat or barn door will also reduce the heat on the filter, extending it's life. In more critical situations, use Rosco Heat Shield or Thermashield to prolong the life of your colour filters.

Never use a plastic filter directly in front of an open faced lamp. Always allow a suitable air gap between the exposed lamp and the filter, 2-3 (50-75mm) inches is recommended.
