[SML] Suggestions for color correction gel on a T-4 CFL flood light?

[Riter, Andrew]

Contact Rosco or other movie supplier.  They make gel sleeves for tubes (pull tube out, slide gel on, put tube back).

You’d be looking for a 3200K conversion gel.  If you know the colour temp of your current tubes, to can then adjust directly to the desired K.

(Are these lights 4’ long tubes?)

Subject: [SML] Suggestions for color correction gel on a T-4 CFL flood light?

I am tired of burning 500w halogen floods for rehearsals and general stage construction.  Gets expensive to replace the lamps and fixtures when the points corrode. I would still use them though when we scene paint the set.

 I am looking into buying the triple tube compact florescent T-4 Bulb 65w flood light at Home Depot, but want to change up the color to a warmer light then the cool daylight it is.  I have 2 of these fixtures mounted on the 2nd story of my house flooding the backyard and do a great job.  In the theater, a warmer tone would be nicer.  Anyone have a suggestion of what gel color or color correction may achieve this?
