Professional light-shaping material

Lee Filters Cinefoil is a matte black aluminium roll built for photographers and filmmakers who need precise control over spill and reflections on set or in the studio. The heavy-gauge foil cuts unwanted light cleanly and can be formed into custom flags, gobos or barndoors for tabletop work or large productions. Its 12-inch width and 50-foot length supply enough material for repeated rigging without frequent replacement.

Heat resistance and silent operation

The aluminium construction dissipates heat safely when positioned close to hot continuous lights, so the foil will not warp or scorch during long sessions. Because the product contains no moving parts or electronics, it adds zero acoustic noise and draws no power, leaving the studio environment completely silent and the electrical load unchanged.

Ready-to-cut versatility

Supplied as a single continuous roll, the foil can be trimmed to any dimension with ordinary scissors or a knife, letting the crew fabricate bespoke light-control tools on the spot. No additional software, mounts or adhesives are bundled, so the operator simply unrolls, shapes and tapes or clamps the pieces wherever the lighting plan demands.

Questions about this item

How do you attach the 12-inch wide Cinefoil to a light fixture without it slipping?

Cut a strip from the 50-foot roll, mold the heavy-gauge aluminum around the fixture's barndoors or frame, and press the matte black surface firmly so it self-adheres through friction and shape retention.

When does the roll need replacing during regular studio use?

Replace it when the matte black coating wears off, the foil tears at fold lines, or the material no longer holds a rigid flag or snoot shape after repeated bending.

What is the first limitation you hit when using this foil continuously near hot tungsten lights?

The aluminum dissipates heat well, but prolonged direct contact with very hot fixtures can eventually make the foil too hot to handle safely with bare hands.
