Overview

The Rosco Roscolux #17 Light Flame is a color gel filter that imparts a warm, heavier pink-amber tint to stage and studio lighting. Part of the widely used Roscolux line, the #17 sits in the warm spectrum and is specifically recommended for dance performances where flattering skin tones and warm washes are essential. It also serves well as a corrective tool for balancing cool-toned light sources or adding warmth to striplight configurations used for cyclorama and backdrop washes.

With a transmission rate of 56%, the Light Flame gel allows a little over half of the fixture's output through while applying its color. This is a moderate reduction that most professional fixtures can accommodate without issue, though designers should account for the light loss when planning intensity levels. Like all Roscolux gels, it is made from a durable polycarbonate-like material that can be cut to fit standard gel frames and holders. The #17 occupies a useful middle ground in the Roscolux warm palette — warmer and pinker than lighter amber options, but not as saturated as deep orange or red gels — making it a versatile staple for any lighting kit.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Provides a distinct warm pink-amber tone that is difficult to replicate with digital color mixing
  • 56% transmission retains a usable amount of light while delivering noticeable color effect
  • Versatile enough for dance performances, striplight washes, and correcting cool lighting
  • Easy to cut to fit a wide range of fixture sizes and gel frame formats

👎 Cons

  • 56% transmission cuts light output nearly in half, which may require higher fixture intensity to compensate
  • Degrades over time when exposed to high-heat conventional fixtures, requiring periodic replacement
  • Single-color gel with no adjustability — changing the warmth level requires swapping to a different Roscolux number
