What We Do

Special FX Lighting has contributed to some of the most complex and award-winning lighting projects around the world. Our custom color filtering solutions can be found in theme parks, hotels, museums, landmarks, and high-end residential applications.

We work closely with leading lighting designers, specifiers, and architects to develop practical, cost-effective, and innovative solutions that perform in real-world environments.

From custom color coatings to precision-fabricated filters, Special FX designs and manufactures lighting filters that help bring creative lighting concepts to life—reliably and consistently.

How We're Different

Rather than limiting designers to a fixed color palette, Special FX Lighting can match virtually any theatrical gel color—or combination of colors—specified for a project. Color concepts can be quickly mocked up in the field using standard theatrical gels, allowing for fast, accurate decision-making before production.

We also provide best-effort matches to Pantone®, RAL, and other non-transparent standard color systems, as well as customer-supplied samples.

For precision light filtering applications, projects can be specified using Kelvin shift targets or nanometer readings. We can also match one light source to another—ensuring consistent color output across different fixtures, even when color temperatures vary.
