My Source 4WRD II is a Different Color Temperature than my Original Source 4WRD Fixtures

Symptoms/Issue

I bought some Source 4WRD II fixtures, or had some of my existing fixtures repaired, and they are a different color temperature than my existing Source 4WRDs.  

Description/Explanation of Issue

Due to a change in the type of LED used in Source 4WRD II, the color temperatures are slightly different than the former versions. 

Fix/Solution

Color can be corrected with common gel:

  1. A 1/8 pale green will help new Daylight Source 4WRDs look more similar to original product.
  2. A pale yellow like Lee 159 or similar will help new Gallery Source 4WRDs look more similar to original product.
  3. A 1/8 CTS or pale warming color will help new Standard Source 4WRDs look more similar to original product.
