Color Filter Set
Product Code : SCL-PL-12409
Color Filter Set (SKU SCL-PL-12409) is a set of six 8 x 10 in filters representing the primary and secondary colours, used to teach how coloured light mixes, how a filter transmits some wavelengths and absorbs others, and why objects appear coloured. It fits light-and-colour lessons from middle school to college. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the set at its Ambala factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, India), with direct supply to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The set holds six filters, each 8 x 10 in (about 20 x 25 cm), representing the primary and secondary colours. The sheet size lets a class see the effect when a filter is held in front of a lamp, a ray box or a projected beam, or when two filters are overlapped.

Applications and Experiments for the Color Filter Set
With a white light source, students can show that a filter transmits its own colour and absorbs the rest, overlap filters to demonstrate subtractive mixing, and send separate beams through the primary filters to build additive mixtures. The set links colour to wavelength in a practical, visible way.
- Class 7–8 science: light, colour and why objects appear coloured.
- Class 10 science (NCERT): dispersion and the colours that make up white light.
- College and teacher-training physics: additive and subtractive mixing, transmission and absorption.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set contains six colour filters, 8 x 10 in each, representing the primary and secondary colours. A white light source, ray box or projector is needed to use them and is not part of the set; any of these can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a price on one set or on enough sets for every group, and the Science Lab Supplies quotation will cover packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Ray boxes, colour discs and other optics lab equipment for schools can be listed on the same enquiry.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code, so it is able to ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. Use the contact page for questions, the enquiry cart to group products, or the lab tender page for tender enquiries.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many filters are in the set and what size are they?
The set contains six filters representing the primary and secondary colours. Each filter measures 8 x 10 in, which is about 20 x 25 cm.
What is the difference between additive and subtractive colour?
Additive mixing combines coloured lights, so red, green and blue beams together give white. Subtractive mixing stacks filters, each absorbing part of the spectrum, so overlapping filters let through less light and darker colours.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer and does not trade this set. The filters are made at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, which prepares every quotation directly.
What light source works with the filters?
Any white light source can be used, such as a ray box, lamp or projector. Shine it through a single filter to show transmission, or through overlapping filters to show subtractive colour mixing.
