Color Lamps Intro

Back to the top



Each Kino Flo® Visual Effects lamp displays a narrow band of light energy in the color spectrum. The phosphor inside each lamp produces a desired color, measured in nanometers (nm) at the highest point in the energy level. The colors include two types of blue light, and two hues of green light. The 420nm blue and the 525nm green are often used in traveling matte photography on bluescreen and greenscreen stages. Other colors available from Kino Flo include gold, pink, red and UV blacklight for set design work.

Blue and Green Screen Lamps

Back to the top

Kino Flo recommends safety-coated blue 420nm lamps for bluescreen and safetycoated 525nm lamps for greenscreen applications. The safety coating cuts the ultraviolet end of the color spectrum to produce a cleaner matte. For more about lighting blue and green screens with Kino Flo lamps, see

Lamp Tester

Back to the top


The hand-held Kino Flo® Lamp Tester checks for damaged fluorescent tubes and saves the labor of putting lamps into fixtures for testing. The diagnostic pin sockets confirm that the cathodes are in good working order at both ends of the tube. The telescoping antenna excites the phosphors to ensure that the glass is not cracked and gas has not escaped. Item # TST-LAMP.
