Rosco 51 Roscolux Surprise Pink Lighting Filter Sheet

The Rosco Roscolux 51 Surprise Pink is a color effects lighting filter designed for stage, studio, and film applications where a soft pink warmth is needed. Manufactured with Rosco's proprietary tri-extrusion process, the filter combines co-extruded polycarbonate plastic with deep-dyed polyester, resulting in a sheet that holds its color faithfully even under intense heat from theatrical and studio fixtures. The 20x24-inch sheet size is an industry standard, allowing you to cut pieces to fit gel frames, barn door holders, and custom setups across your lighting rig.

With a transmission rate of 54%, the Surprise Pink filter lets through just over half the fixture's output, translating to roughly 0.9 stops of light loss. This is a moderate reduction that keeps the effect visible while preserving enough brightness for most applications. The color itself is a warm, flattering pink that works well for enhancing skin tones on stage, creating romantic or nostalgic moods, and softening the clinical feel of straight white light. As part of the extensive Roscolux range, it integrates easily into professional lighting workflows where precise, repeatable color is essential.
