Rosco Fluorescent Sleeves are an efficient and comparably inexpensive way to control fluorescent lighting - the most difficult lighting to shoot under. In addition to color temperature control, sleeves give you the freedom to create many interesting colors and effects. Another major advantage of sleeves is that they help protect against potential lamp breakage by minimizing the dangers of shattered glass.

These polycarbonate tubes feature the specific color effect inserted inside the tube. These filters are available in many colors and sizes.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. is this Dimmable?

A: The simple answer is no, these are not dimmable. I don't know of any fluorescent bulbs that can be dimmed, but I did hook these bulbs up to a professional dimmer switch just to make sure. Turning the switch all the way to zero resulted in a one-stop difference from 100%. I'm sure that's not good for the bulb, not reliable, and of no practicable value, although in an absolute sense, they did dim a slight amount. I hope this answer helps.
