However, the colour of the light from any flash unit can be altered across a wide range simply by placing a coloured filter in front of the unit. Glass filters are by far the best as they are less likely to be damaged by any heat that could arise from the modeling lamp. However glass is heavy and not all units have the facility to take glass filters.	Move over image to view roll over image
There is a wide range of colour transparent filters that can be used to alter the light falling onto the subject.

Many flash units each with a different colour filter can be used to play light onto different areas of a subject.
