Product Information
Full details
The Lume Cube CTO (Colour Temperature Orange) 4 Pack is an essential lighting accessory for photographers and videographers who need to match their Lume Cube output to existing ambient lighting conditions. Ideal for creators working in mixed light, these gels allow you to transition from a daylight-balanced 5600K down to a warm 3500K tungsten glow. While these gels provide excellent versatility for colour balancing, users should note that they are designed specifically for Lume Cube lighting units and are not intended for use as camera lens filters despite the generic product classification.

FAQs
Are these filters for my camera lens?
No, despite the classification, these are lighting gels designed exclusively to be placed in front of Lume Cube LED lights.
How do I know which gel to use?
Use the lighter gels for subtle warming (closer to 5600K) and the darker, deeper amber gels for significant warming (closer to 3500K).
Can I stack the gels?
Stacking is not recommended as it may reduce light output significantly and could potentially cause heat buildup.
Will these fit any Lume Cube?
These gels are designed for standard Lume Cube units with magnetic face plates. Check your specific Lume Cube model for magnetic compatibility.
How should I clean the gels?
Use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe away fingerprints or dust.
Troubleshooting
Gel will not stay attached to the light.
Ensure the front surface of the Lume Cube is clean and free of debris. Verify that the magnets are not obstructed.
Light output looks discolored or uneven.
Check that the gel is centered on the light source and that there are no smudges or fingerprints on the gel surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply align the magnets on the gel with the magnets on the front of your Lume Cube housing. They will snap into place automatically.
Compatibility: These gels are specifically engineered for the Lume Cube ecosystem. They will not fit standard camera lenses or other brand lighting units.
Care: To keep your gels in optimal condition, store them in their protective sleeve when not in use to avoid scratches. Clean them with a soft, microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the optical quality of the gel or damage the integrated magnet housing.
