Diffuser Kit GlareOne Apus 80 with Colored Gel Filters

The GlareOne Apus 80 Diffuser Kit with Colored Gel Filters is an accessory set made for the Apus 80 lighting unit to modify light quality and color quickly on set. The kit combines a diffusion element to soften and broaden the beam with a selection of colored gel filters to introduce accurate color shifts and creative effects. It is intended to enhance control over edge hardness and hue without changing the fixture or main optics.

Advantages

The diffuser reduces harsh shadows and smooths beam edges for a softer, more even illumination suitable for portraits and product work. Colored gel filters allow rapid color correction and creative tinting while maintaining consistent light output through the Apus 80. The combination of diffusion and gels provides flexible light shaping in studio and on-location environments, enabling fast adjustments during shoots.

• Portrait photography where softer light is required
• Video and interview setups for even skin tones and reduced specular highlights
• Studio product photography to minimize harsh reflections
• Creative lighting effects in music videos, short films, and fashion shoots
• Location shoots that require quick color changes and adaptable diffusion

How to use

Attach the diffuser directly to the front of the Apus 80 according to the fixture's accessory mounting method, ensuring secure fitment before powering on the light. Insert or swap colored gel filters in front of the diffusion element to achieve desired color balance or artistic effect. Combine diffusion and gels to fine-tune edge softness and hue; check white balance and exposure after each change to maintain color accuracy. When removing or changing filters, handle gels by their edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches that can affect light transmission.

Usage recommendations

Use the diffuser when reducing contrast and smoothing skin textures, and select neutral-density or correction gels for subtle adjustments. For vivid color effects, choose stronger saturation gels and test on-camera to confirm the resulting hue. Store gels flat or in protective sleeves to avoid creasing; clean the diffusion element with a soft, dry cloth and avoid solvents.
