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.
