Durable and precise dichroic glass color filters that don’t fade over time
Dichroic filters are durable glass color filters that transmit specific wavelengths of light and reflect the rest of the spectrum, rather than absorb it – which means colors that don’t fade over time and increased light transmission compared to plastic color filters. Manufactured using the highest quality coatings, Rosco Permacolor Dichroic Filters offer designers a long-life filter solution that is durable enough to withstand the extreme temperatures of moving-lights and architectural light fixtures. Permacolor Dichroic Filters are available in a palette of over 60 standard colors and we are capable of creating custom-designed colors as well.
• Rosco Manufactures Its Own Dichroic Glass
We are the only color filter company that manufactures its own dichroic glass. Instead of sourcing unwanted dichroics in bulk from industrial manufacturers, we make our dichroic filters in our plant located in Round Rock, Texas. This enables us to attenuate our dichroic chamber for superior color consistency and repeatability so that the filter you order today will match the same filter you receive a year from now – or ten years from now. Selling off-loaded bulk dichroics doesn’t allow for that kind of reliability.
• Large Palette of Colors
The Permacolor palette of standard colors includes a large variety of saturated colors, as well as subtle, pale color-tints. We also offer an engineered set of correction filters, including Neutral-Densities, CTOs, CTBs, and Minus Greens that precisely match industry standards for color-correcting light fixtures. Whether you’re looking for a permanent CTB filter for a broadcast studio, an accent filter to warm up an LED architectural fixture, or a vibrant blue filter to go inside the moving-lights you’re about to send out on tour, Rosco Permacolor Dichroic Glass Filters offer a permanent color filter solution for any long-term project using high-temperature ligh
...t fixtures.
• Technical & Protective Filters
Our unique dichroic glass manufacturing process enables us to engineer specific coatings that provide protection from radiant heat or create specialized lighting effects. These filters include a UV Filter that removes ultra violet wavelengths and IR/UV “Hot Mirror” that reflects infrared and near UV energy – both of which are perfect for museum and architectural applications. We also provide UV-Pass filters that can turn a UV-rich light source into a black light that creates glowing UV effects.
• Custom Colors
Because we manufacture our own dichroic glass, we can offer custom-designed colors for large-scale architectural installations, projects that require specialized band-pass filters, and OEM manufacturers that need their own range of color or correction filters. Rosco engineers can design almost any color specified with unsurpassed color-precision and batch-consistency that other color filter companies cannot match. Design charges and minimum quantity requirements may apply. Contact us for more information.
• Library Colors
If there is a color needed that is not included in our standard Permacolor range, and designing a custom color is not in the budget, we may have that color available as a Rosco Library Color. We inventory several non-standard colors that are available on the shelf for immediate purchase. These colors are an excellent choice if you’re trying to match an existing Roscolux, E-Colour+ or GamColor filter with a dichroic solution. Please note that we cannot guaranty the same color-consistency from batch-to-batch in our stock of Library Colors that we offer in our standard Permacolor range.
