I dont know about purple. Ive never managed to get one of the swatch books from Lee in the UK, tried several times now. Thats one reason I wanted the book so I could find suitable ones then order in the proper sheet in larger sizes with the nice ones.

As for the brightness its exactly the same using a single disc as to doing the whole blade. The effect is identical between them. So whatever brightness loss you get with a disc you will get with the big sheet too. Thats one reason I now use P4's or Cree's for all my white blades. Best balance for size and power currently.

The red gel with a red led doesnt lose much either, not a visible difference anyway, maybe 3-4%, minimal really.

Im still trying to find a supplier of a decent blue and green as the shades I have seen available are a bit on the darker end of the spectrum as thats what is normally used in theatres etc.

The yellow is cool though

Hm. Sounds cool, being able to switch colors with blades kinda like EL, but with LED brightness and the ability to see the colors even in daylight.

Ok so what i thought was true,you can turn it on and use it at night just like your normal night blade,well it is your normal night blade.
And its lee filters,well that makes it much easier for me to get.

I had no problem getting one next day from them... Weird.

I hear Magenta 327 works quite well, though using just the filter ruins the coring effect from the pics i've seen!
