Lee Filters have designed a range of dichroic glass filters for use in permanent and semi-permanent lighting installations. Chosen after extensive research among design professionals, the Glass Series colour palette provides a range of consistent repeatable colours. Including subtle, less saturated colours now favoured for architectural applications.

Specifically designed to meet the demands of the lighting industry, the dichroic glass filters are produced by the vacuum deposition of layers of thin metal films onto a substrate of borofloat glass. This glass is 3.3mm thick and therefore extremely durable, and the production process creates spectacular “clear” and “pure” colours that will not fade. The filters can be supplied unframed, framed or as custom shapes and sizes.

Lee Filters have closely matched the Glass Series on polyester lighting filter material to provide a convenient swatch book. Available on request, lighting designers can use this book to test colour schemes or demonstrate the effects of different filters

Frosted Dichroic Glass Colours

The twelve most popular colours within the glass series are now available in a new range of frosted Glass Dichroic Filters, enabling the lighting designer to add colour and diffusion in the one filter. The diffusion within the filter softens the light beam giving a more even and graduated lighting effect.

Frosted Colour Dichroic Filters are colour-coated on one side by a vaccum deposition of metal film, and diffused on the other side (the no-colour frost version is simply diffused on one side). The diffusion creates a frost very similar to LEE 251 Quarter White Diffusion. The dichroic coating is able to withstand temperatures up to 371°C, allowing the colour to last for years without fading.
