Lee Filters 216 / 250 / 251 Diffusion Filters (1 Roll, 1.2m wide)

$1,300.00 /day

Premium full-sized industrial lighting diffusion filter roll, engineered by industry-standard Lee Filters, spanning 1.2m in width for large-scale setups, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Available in classic 216 (Full), 250 (Half), or 251 (Quarter) technical profiles to heavily soften beam paths, blur shadow lines, or wrap large sets cleanly in soft illumination. (Note: This rental package covers a standalone single filter roll only; mounting accessories and grip gear are available for rent separately.)

A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.

The Lee Filters 216 / 250 / 251 Diffusion Filters (1 Roll, 1.2m Wide) is the ultimate industrial lighting modification solution designed for professional cinematographers, gaffers, and heavy studio production houses renting gear in Hong Kong. Moving away from pre-cut sheets that limit coverage, this full-length commercial roll spans a generous 1.2 meters in width. It allows grip crews to custom-cut large seamless diffusion panels for heavy overhead truss arrays, large modular butterfly frames, or expansive studio window setups.

When executing an equipment hire for major narrative feature films, wide horizontal commercial sets, or complex multi-camera television configurations, achieving consistent light texture across large physical spaces is mandatory on Hong Kong sets. This professional roll is available in three industry-standard technical densities, allowing crews to select their precise scattering profile:

Lee 216 (Full White Diffusion): Reduces exposure by 1.5 stops, completely scattering hard directional light into a broad, beautiful cream wrap.
Lee 250 (Half White Diffusion): Reduces exposure by 0.75 stops, offering a balanced middle ground that softens shadows while maintaining useful beam punch.
Lee 251 (Quarter White Diffusion): Reduces exposure by only 0.33 stops, subtly taking the edge off raw beams while preserving maximum distance and throw.

Applicable Scenarios:

Large Studio Frame Skinning: Custom cuts large panels to skin 4x4ft or larger modular frames inside deep sound stages in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan, creating expansive soft key sources for full-body tracking.
Architectural Window Hardness Softening: Spans across large commercial window panes or industrial loading doors during location shoots in Central to cleanly diffuse incoming natural ambient sunlight.
Overhead Truss Ambient Distribution: Rigs long, seamless runs of technical diffusion below overhead continuous fixtures to build an even, shadow-free baseline ambiance across multi-person sets.

Industrial 1.2m Wide Full-Length Roll: Extended physical width provides ample layout volume to skin large custom grip frames, overhead truss arrays, and wide background sets seamlessly.
Industry-Standard Lee Filters Calibration: Premium technical polymer base provides reliable durability, high clarity, and precise light-scattering consistency across the entire roll.
Selectable Technical Densities: Available in classic 216 (Full), 250 (Half), or 251 (Quarter) profiles to match the exact softening strength and exposure tracking required on set.
High Thermal Tolerance Resilience: Specially formulated technical material handles the continuous thermal output and high heat of large-chip cinema fixtures safely without immediate blistering.
Seamless Custom-Cut Versatility: Allows field crews to trim custom geometric shapes or long horizontal strips cleanly without creating jagged texturing or structural weak points.

Lee Filters 1.2m Wide Technical Diffusion Filter Roll (Choice of 216, 250, or 251 Density) x 1 Roll
(Note: This listing covers the standalone single filter roll and transport tube only. Continuous lighting fixtures, modular grip frames, C-Stands, custom gel cutters, and C-47 wooden grip clips are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)

Q: Are the continuous lighting fixtures, cutting tools, or mounting frames included inside this rental?
A: No, they are not. This rental covers a single full industrial 1.2m wide roll of Lee Filters diffusion and its protective core tube only. It is intended for professional crews who already have their own frames, grip setups, or wish to select support gear separately. If you need mounting frames, please remember to add our matching heavy-duty frame kits, C-Stands, and sandbags to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
Q: Can this industrial diffusion roll handle the heat of high-wattage continuous cinema lights safely?
A: Yes, Lee Filters are manufactured from an industrial-grade, heat-resistant polymer base designed to withstand the thermal tracking of professional cinema and studio lights. However, when skinning frames or rigging long runs directly in front of large-chip continuous fixtures, we always recommend maintaining a safe physical air gap between the hot lamp housing and the technical material to prevent heat-scorching.
Q: How do I specify whether I need the 216, 250, or 251 roll for my rental order?
A: This listing covers a single roll rental. When placing your booking online or coordinating with our Hong Kong counter, please explicitly state your desired technical density choice (216 for Full White, 250 for Half White, or 251 for Quarter White) so our studio team can prep the correct core roll for your workflow.
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
