FadeNot Color Correction Filters for LED Lighting

Special FX Lighting provides advanced color correction solutions for LED light sources using our proprietary FadeNot coating technology. Designed to fine-tune light output, these filters allow you to adjust color temperature, spectral balance, and brightness to achieve the desired visual effect.

Modern LED lighting often trends toward the blue/green end of the spectrum, which can create harsh environments and unflattering skin tones. FadeNot color correction filters are engineered to trim unwanted wavelengths, resulting in warmer, more natural, and visually comfortable lighting.

and we offer the flexibility to either coat customer-supplied lamps or provide fully finished, ready-to-install products.

 

Product Capabilities

  • Warm color temperature
    Reduce blue/green wavelengths to create a more inviting atmosphere and improve skin tone rendering

  • Cool color temperature
    Increase kelvin temperature using blue filtration (note: this reduces lumen output more than warming)

  • Match multiple light sources
    Normalize output between different manufacturers’ fixtures for a consistent visual environment

  • Combine color correction with neutral density
    Adjust color temperature while also reducing brightness

Using advanced instrumentation, our technicians can measure your existing light source and precisely adjust it to your target kelvin temperature or spectral requirement.

Applications

  • Restaurants, bars, and hospitality environments

  • Office lobbies and commercial interiors

  • Architectural and display lighting

  • Multi-fixture installations requiring color consistency

  • Projects requiring compliance with Dark Sky lighting ordinances

Dark Sky & Environmental Concerns

Artificial blue light has been shown to impact circadian rhythms, wildlife behavior, and environmental balance. As light pollution becomes a growing concern, many regions are implementing Dark Sky ordinances to reduce these effects.

FadeNot filters can help meet these requirements by:

  • Reducing blue light output

  • Lowering brightness while maintaining safety

  • Supporting compliant, environmentally responsible lighting design

Special FX Lighting works directly with manufacturers and distributors to provide solutions tailored to regional Dark Sky standards worldwide.

Substrates

FadeNot color correction filters can be applied to a wide range of materials, including:

 

  • Glass and EZ Glass

  • Polycarbonate and acrylic

  • Poly sleeves and flexible films (XFilm)

  • LED lamps and bulbs

  • Customer-supplied substrates

How to Specify

To ensure accurate quoting and performance, please include:

  • Application and fixture type

  • Desired outcome:

    • Target kelvin temperature

    • Spectral adjustment (nanometer range)

    • Theatrical gel reference

  • Substrate type (if known)

  • Whether materials are supplied by customer or Special FX Lighting

We recommend mocking up color in the field whenever possible to confirm final results.

Lead Times

  • Standard orders: 2-4 weeks from receipt of Purchase Order

  • Customer-supplied materials: Lead time begins upon receipt

Exact lead times will be confirmed at time of order.
