Rosco Fluorescent Lighting Sleeves/Tube Guards are a very reliable and cost-effective system for easy control of tough lighting scenarios- especially under fluorescents. In addition to the financial benefits of the sleeves, they protect against the potential disaster of glass shattering by containing the lamp within the end caps.

Rosco sleeves are constructed of a solid polycarbonate tube within which is held the specific filter. The choice of filters and combination of filters is endless - there are complete Roscolux, Cinegel or E-Colour color filter lines - something for every venue, every photographer, every cinematographer.

For T12 Lamps    Over 300 Colors Available    UL94HB Rated Polycarbonate    End Caps Protect From Shattered Glass    Easily Trimmed with Scissors

Available in sizes for T12, T8 and T5 fluorescent lamps

The T8 and T5 sizes contain a UV filter that minimizes fading

All standard sizes (2, 4, 5, and 8') are easily trimmed to accommodate any size lamp

Q: 6. Can this be used with the Menace Arm kit? If so, can a traditional coupler connect two rails for extra reach as a Menace Arm?

A: The Matthews 1 1/4" Grip Rail (Long, 41-72") is the one you want to get if you need to use with a Menace arm kit as the standard width for Menace Arm kits is 1 1/4". Any 1 1/4" Schedule 40 Coupler will work as an extender but please consult a Grip/Gaffer about proper counterweights when rigging an extension of this size.

Q: 7. My walls have been painted with antique white semi gloss paint...can this go over top of it?...or do I need to paint it first white flat white?...

A: Hi Rosco said to paint a small section of the wall let the paint dry for 3 to 4 hours to see how flat the paint looks. If you see a shine you will need to prime the wall

Q: 8. What is the difference between this and a grid?

A: These barndoors are useful in preventing glare that could bounce back to the camera as well as minimizing light spill. A grid focuses the entire beam down and the size of the beam would be dependent on the size of the grid (in degrees). For example, a 40 degree grid would yield a less focused beam versus a 20 degree.

Q: 9. APPLICATION METHOD?HOW MANY COATS?PRIMER?

A: We have a painting crew here on campus. They used traditional latex painting methods...cutting in with a brush, then rolling on the rest. Two coats was sufficient to fully cover a previously painted wall. No primer was used, however if your wall is new or stained, I would recommend Kilz primer underneath.

Q: 10. What kind of Paint Brush AND Roller covers To Be Used With This Paint??

A: We sell the ChromaLight Painter Kit BH #CHPNTRKT • MFR #CL60001 but it depends in part on the surface you are painting. I would say you want a smooth surface so you do not get a dimpled pattern and have even light on the wall. So a roller with a short nap would make sense regardless of which brand.
