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: 1. Which Chimera Pancake would make better use of the light spread?

A: When the reflector is removed there is supposed to be a 180 degree spread. I'm planning to use a medium pancake lantern with the Wasp 100-C. I think the important thing is how you want to use the light and how much output may fill either a small area or a large room.

Q: 2. are there any video tutorials showing how i can use this light as a background light for video interviews...ie gobo projections (in/or or out of focus), scatter gels etc...how would this work? similar to the dedolight projection attachment...is it possible with this light? I would rather buy this than an expensive dedo....

A: Unfortunately, there aren't any video tutorials specifically on these fixtures when used as a background light. While you cannot use a projection lens with this fixture other than the dedicated lenses for it, you can use a cucoloris pattern in front of the light to produce a break up pattern against the background. One such product is the Matthews Cucoloris - 24x36 - Wood B&H # MACW2436 which can be held up by a C-stand such as the Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Head Kit, Black - 10.5' (3.2m) B&H # MALSC40HWB in front of the Wasp 100-C. Please see the images below for reference.
