Dichroics & Color Correction & Color Temperature Filters
Dichroic color filter coatings are an excellent alternative to dyed plastics and glass when a beam of light must be split into two distinct beams varying by wavelength. Color correction filters alter the overall color of light to achieve a specific color and sometimes to obtain a specific color temperature. Unlike plastic color gels which age and breakdown quickly during use, dichroic filters and color correction filters are designed to stand up to the heat and UV energy in high energy light sources. High energy light sources can also have a damaging effect on dyed glasses as well, due to their heat absorbing nature. Dichroic and color correction filters have the advantage of reflecting unwanted light instead of absorbing the energy, which allows dichroic filters to be used with much higher intensity light sources up to 550°F. Dichroic color filters are used in a variety of applications including architectural, entertainment, scientific instruments, and engineering. Many industry standard colors have been engineered as dichroic filters. We have over 160 different colors available. Dichroics are offered from 1.1mm (.043”) thick up to 3.3mm (1.28”) thick.
Grey Glass
Grey Glass or smoked glass in lay terms; is a tinted soda lime glass that is primarily used to restrict or reduce light transmission (transfer) as well as for decorative applications. Generally used for windows, grey glass can be used to prevent fading of furnishings, carpeting, clothing, artwork, etc. It is also used to add a level of privacy. Grey glass is suitable for commercial and home use.
