What is a "gel"?
A gel is a colored filter placed over stage lights to alter their hue and create various lighting effects. It is typically made of a thin, heat-resistant material and is used to change the color of the light emitted by the lamps. By using gels, lighting designers can enhance the mood, set the tone, and visually transform the scene to match the artistic vision of a performance.
