Rosco 4332004897 Roscolux Medium Grey Lighting Filter

The Roscolux 98 Medium Grey is a precision tool for anyone managing light levels with exactness. Where a dimmer introduces flicker risk at certain shutter speeds and color shift at reduced output, this filter reduces fixture luminance by a clean two stops while leaving the source's spectral character entirely intact. On set or in a studio, that neutrality matters — you can balance a brighter key against a softer fill, pull a practical lamp down to match your exposure, or reduce a fresnel's punch without touching its color temperature. It's the right answer when the question is purely about intensity, not color.

Cut from Rosco's co-extruded polycarbonate and deep-dyed polyester stock, the 20×24" sheet is engineered for the thermal demands of continuous production lighting. The deep-dye process embeds the density uniformly through the material rather than coating the surface, which means the filter resists fading and density shift even under sustained heat from HMI and tungsten sources. The large sheet format allows it to cover fixture apertures directly or be trimmed cleanly to fit standard gel frames without edge degradation. For a filter that needs to match a calibrated exposure reduction night after night, the Roscolux 98 delivers without variation.
