Lee Filters 251 Quarter White Diffusion Filters, – ⅓ Stop (1ft x 1ft)
$80.00 /day
Premium pre-cut quarter 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 delicate 251 technical profile to subtly take the edge off raw beam shapes and slightly soften shadow lines while maintaining maximum directional punch and losing only 0.33 stops of exposure. (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 251 Quarter White Diffusion Filter (-⅓ Stop, 1ft x 1ft) is a highly popular light softening sheet designed for professional cinematographers, gaffers, and commercial studio photographers, making it a reliable selection for equipment hire in Hong Kong. Instead of carrying bulky, unmanageable full industrial rolls of 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 fast-paced corporate video interviews, premium fashion lookbooks, or commercial product campaigns, maintaining light output efficiency while cleaning up harsh beam edges is a priority on Hong Kong production sets. The Lee 251 is a low-density technical sheet that reduces light intensity by only 0.33 stops. It works by subtly scattering raw directional beams, smoothing out sharp hot-spots and hard shadow borders while allowing maximum directional punch, throw, and contrast to pass through without altering the fixture’s native color temperature index.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Subtle Edge Softening for Video Interviews: Quickly clips over continuous LED panels inside office locations in Central to take the bite out of raw light sources, maintaining high exposure output while easing harsh contrasts.
-
Long-Throw Location Exposure Control: Deploys over portable fixtures during outdoor shoots in Tsim Sha Tsui or Shek O where you need to soften the light slightly but require maximum beam distance and throw.
-
Product Specular Highlight Cleaning: Positions in front of accent lights on product photography sets in Kwun Tong or Chai Wan to smooth out harsh specular glares on highly reflective surfaces while keeping bright, punchy core highlights intact.
-
Practical 1×1 Foot Pre-Cut Profile: Standard 30x30cm physical footprint provides ample layout coverage for standard barndoor assemblies, light frames, and small panels.
-
Delicate Lee 251 Light Diffusion: Industry-standard quarter white formulation delivers a subtle blend of edge smoothing while retaining maximum directional beam character.
-
Minimal -0.33 Stop Exposure Loss: Low density attenuates harsh hot-spots with almost unnoticeable exposure reduction, preserving maximum lighting kit efficiency 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 251 Quarter 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 251 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 251 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 251 differ from heavier white diffusion filters like Lee 216 or Lee 250?
A: Lee 216 is a full white diffusion sheet that heavily scatters the beam and reduces exposure by 1.5 stops for maximum softness. Lee 250 is a medium half white diffusion that offers a balanced middle ground, losing 0.75 stops. Lee 251 (Quarter White) is the lightest variation, offering just a touch of softening to smooth out harsh edge transitions while keeping the light punchy and efficient, losing only 0.33 stops.
-
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.
