About the FlashGels Filter PacksAll packs come with 5 of each colour and are available in 4cm and 5cm widths. If you need more gels of a particular colour, then colours are available individually from the Pick'n'Mix section of the website. There are three standard gel packs - one for colour correction, one for effects and the last comprises of supplementary Neutral Density filters. The filters in the packs are cut from quality Lee Filter rolls. Filters are 14cm long. Two varieties of packs available: 
The 4cm Normal filters should be suitable for most Nikon, Pentax and Canon flashes. The 5cm Wide are for flashes with larger lenses, for example the Vivitar 285HV - the filter slot on the Vivitar zoom head is 5cm, so will hold one of the gels, though you may want to secure at one end with Velcro. The colour correction packs are available with Velcro and without. Packs with Velcro include 100 pre-cut 12mm hook dots for the filters, and 4 x 10cm strips of Velcro loops to stick on your flash (at your own risk!). Loops are the soft side, hooks the rough, plasticky part. Colour correction
A range of Colour Temperature Orange (CTO), Colour Temperature Blue (CTB) and Plus Green (Window Green) filters available in full, half and quarter strengths.
