CTO-062 delivers a +67 Mired shift to move 5600 K light toward 3800 K. Its smooth spectral slope creates a natural warming effect, with about 58.1 % average visible transmittance and approximately 0.7 stops of light loss.

The ion-assisted hard-oxide coating is built for repeated handling, heat, and cleaning.

Best suited for:

Moderate warming when daylight and tungsten need to blend, especially for interview lighting, event rigs, and warmer skin tones.

Description

CTO-062 rounds out the CTO series with a standard half-CTO crossover at 567 nm and a peaked orange-red passband. Transmission exceeds 85 % from 606-680 nm, peaking at 95.6 % at 635 nm - right in the orange-red sweet spot. Blue is suppressed to 20.3 %, green to 31 %, while NIR rolls off moderately to 78.9 %. The combination of a standard half-CTO crossover with an orange-red peak and moderate NIR makes CTO-062 a versatile, middle-of-the-road warm filter with strong visual colour impact.

Key Advantages

  • 50 % crossover at 567 nm with peak of 95.6 % at 635 nm - centres maximum output in the orange-red for strong visual warmth at standard half-CTO intensity.
  • T > 85 % from 606-680 nm - provides a well-defined warm passband covering the most visually impactful warm wavelengths.
  • Moderate NIR roll-off (78.9 % average) - balances warm NIR throughput with heat management.
  • Hard-oxide durability - ion-assisted coating resists heat, humidity, solvents, and cleaning.
  • Custom formats available - round, square, or free-form blanks from 5 mm to 450 mm, thickness 0.21-3.8 mm, on Borofloat®, soda-lime, Schott D263 T, or Corning Eagle XG substrates.

Typical Applications

  • Stage and event lighting - delivers a versatile half-CTO with an orange-red punch for warm scene design and colour matching.
  • Film and broadcast production - provides standard half-CTO conversion with a visually satisfying orange bias for on-camera warmth.
  • Architectural and hospitality lighting - shifts cool-white sources to a warm ambiance with strong perceived warmth from the orange peak.
  • Photography warm filtration - delivers a half-CTO with excellent visual warmth and moderate NIR for clean digital capture.
  • LED colour tuning - converts 5600 K LED modules toward 3800 K with concentrated orange-red output for maximum visual impact.
