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: 3. My current Fluorescent socket is rated for a max of 85w - if I add this will I still be limited to 85w total, or would 4x 85w be safe?

Q: 4. Is this light about the same size as an Arri 300w tungsten or closer to an Arri 650w tungten? I need to travel with it.

A: This light is similar in size to a Arri 300w.

Q: 5. Can I use LED floods with this?

A: The light does not specifically say in its specifications it can or cannot use a screw in LED light.The fixture uses a lamp that is E26 Edison screw in bulb. It is a regular kind of screw in bulb. So technically if the led light does not need ballast or any electronics and has that all built in to the bulb you can use that fixture. Note that it has not been tested with that type of bulb.

Q: 6. What kind battery do you recommend for Practilite 602?

A: I would go with the VariZoom S7101 D-Tap XLR cable and the Dracast V-mount Battery. The other alternative would be to plug the regular power cable into a Paul C Buff Vagabond Li-Ion Battery. It all depends on whether you have other uses for V-mount battery or not.

A: The Apple Smart Cover for iPad does not apply to the rear section of the iPad. That part of the iPad remains exposed. The Apple Smart Cover for iPad only protects the front screen side as a result.

A: This fixture would not fit Bowens S Type modifiers. However, it is compatible with the Profoto OCF Light Modifiers, with the help of the Profoto Speedring for OCF Flash Heads B&H # PROCFSR. Please see the image below to the speed ring and the following link to the OCF modifiers:http://bhpho.to/2ayg3ob

Q: 10. Will this work with a Sony mirrorless camera?

A: The Ultrastrap and Mini Softbox can work for a Sony shoe mount flash that is used on a Sony mirrorless camera. Having tested the Sony A3000 with the Soft Screen diffuser, it does work fine. However, it would not work with other Sony mirrorless cameras as the hot shoe and flashes are positioned away from one another such as the A6000.
