Lee Filters 216 White Diffusion Filters, – 1½ Stop (1ft x 1ft)
$80.00 /day
Premium pre-cut tough white diffusion filter sheet, engineered by industry-standard Lee Filters, sized at 30x30cm (1×1 foot) for versatile mounting, now available for rental in Hong Kong. Features the legendary 216 technical profile to heavily soften raw beam profiles, blur micro-shadow lines, and introduce a smooth, beautiful glow to continuous or strobe light outputs on set while reducing exposure by 1.5 stops. (Note: This rental kit covers the pre-cut gel filter sheet only; lighting fixtures and mounting clips 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 White Diffusion Filter (-1½ Stop, 1ft x 1ft) is the industry-standard technical softening sheet designed for professional cinematographers, gaffers, and commercial studio photographers, making it a highly reliable selection for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Instead of carrying bulky, unmanageable full industrial rolls of heavy diffusion to location sets, this neat 1×1 foot pre-cut sheet offers rapid deployment, making it ideal for compact open-face fixtures, small continuous LED light panels, or portable studio flashes.
When executing an equipment hire for high-stakes corporate video interviews, premium fashion lookbooks, or commercial product campaigns, achieving a flattering, seamless skin texture transition is mandatory on Hong Kong production sets. The Lee 216 is a heavy, dense technical sheet that reduces light intensity by 1.5 stops. It works by completely scattering raw directional beam configurations, converting hard-edged hot-spots into a broad, beautiful, and evenly distributed soft illumination wrap that minimizes fine facial lines without altering the fixture’s native color temperature index.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Heavy Softening for Executive Interviews: Quickly clips over harsh, raw continuous LED panels inside office locations in Central to smooth out strong micro-shadows under the eyes and create an ultra-flattering skin wrap.
-
Blended Multi-Fixture Overhead Arrays: Deploys over individual small lights inside commercial studios in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to erase conflicting shadow lines and create an even baseline ambiance.
-
Surgical Specular Reflection Control: Positions directly in front of accent lights on product photography sets to blur sharp glares on highly reflective glass, metal, or jewelry surfaces.
-
Practical 1×1 Foot Pre-Cut Profile: Standard 30x30cm physical footprint provides ample layout coverage for standard barndoor assemblies, light frames, and small panels.
-
Legendary Lee 216 Technical Diffusion: Industry-standard heavy white formulation delivers substantial beam scattering, smoothing out sharp light lines completely.
-
Controlled -1.5 Stop Exposure Reduction: Denseness cleanly attenuates intense hot-spots by one-and-a-half exposure stops, allowing for better contrast management on set.
-
High Thermal Tolerance Resilience: Specially formulated technical material handles the continuous thermal output and high heat of standard media lights safely without immediate blistering.
-
Agile Portable Case Storage: Arrives neatly flat and protected to keep individual sheets dust-free, uncreased, and organized for immediate deployment on location.

Lee Filters 216 Tough White Diffusion Filter Sheet (1x1ft Pre-Cut) x 1
-
(Note: This listing covers the standalone pre-cut filter gel sheet and case only. Continuous lighting fixtures, barndoors, C-Stands, and C-47 wooden grip clips are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)
-
Q: Are the continuous lighting fixtures or mounting clips included inside this rental set?
A: No, they are not. This rental covers the pre-cut Lee 216 gel sheet and its protective sleeve only. It is intended for crews who already have their own fixtures or wish to select lighting gear separately. If you need mounting hardware, please remember to add our specialized grip clips (such as C-47 wooden clips) or gel holders to your Hong Kong gear allocation. -
Q: Can this 216 diffusion sheet handle the heat of high-wattage cinema fixtures 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, to extend the lifespan of the sheet and prevent localized heat-scorching, we always recommend leaving a slight air gap between the filter sheet and the direct hot glass lens or barn doors.

-
Q: How does Lee 216 differ from lighter diffusion filters like Lee 250 or 251?
-
A: Lee 216 is a heavy, full diffusion sheet that offers maximum beam scattering and reduces exposure by 1.5 stops, making it ideal for turning hard lights into very soft sources. Lee 250 (Half White) and Lee 251 (Quarter White) are thinner variations that scatter light less aggressively, allowing more directional punch to pass through while losing less exposure.
