Your Central Resource for Smarter, Faster, Creative Decisions

At LEE Filters, we know that filmmakers and photographers need quick, reliable solutions that support creativity—not slow it down. That’s why we’ve launched the brand new Online Tools Hub, a centralised destination designed to streamline your workflow and make choosing the right filters easier than ever.

The Hub brings all of our most popular tools together into one place, helping you find the perfect LEE Filters product for any project, from feature films and commercial shoots to landscape photography and studio work.

Why the Tools Hub Matters for Creatives

Until now, LEE Filters’ interactive tools have been available separately—useful, but scattered. With this launch, everything is consolidated in one place, making it faster and simpler to access the technical insights you need when planning, selecting, or comparing filters.

Whether you're balancing mixed lighting, matching gels from other brands, or exploring the visual qualities of diffusion, the Online Tools Hub acts as a powerful companion to the full LEE Filters product range.

Explore the Interactive Tools Available

The new hub features a suite of tools built specifically for gaffers, cinematographers, lighting technicians, photographers and visual creatives who demand accuracy and flexibility.

🔸 Colour Temperature Calculator
