Irix have announced a new filter, specifically aimed at reducing the yellow glow from street lighting.
Note from Keith – The filter’s main cutoff is for the yellow D line of sodium.
That’s great if your scene is lit by low pressure sodium lighting, however all the lighting around us in Leicester is now LED based. It was so much easier to filter unwanted light out when it was all low pressure sodium.

Irix Edge Super Endurance (SE) series
The Irix Edge Light Pollution is the first filter of the Super Endurance (SE) series. The optical glass has been subjected to a special thermal treatment to increase durability; in addition, both surfaces of the filter have been covered by coatings that further increase the overall strength of the entire filter surface.
The yellow dominant that can be seen in the picture during the night is caused by the use of sodium lamps for urban street-lighting. The Irix Edge Light Pollution filter removes the yellowish haze emitted by sodium lamps.
This type of filter can be successfully used in the city, in the urban landscape, or the photography of the night sky when we want to capture the stars, or the Milky Way, with natural colors.
The highest optical quality
The Irix Edge Light Pollution filter has been developed based on the highest quality optical glass which guaranteeing high light transmission.
On both surfaces of the filter applied a multilayer anti-reflective coatings to minimise the risk of unwanted reflections.
The filter has also NANO coating with hydro- and oil-repellent characteristics, so that dirt does not adhere to its surface so the maintenance of the filter’s purity has been significantly facilitated.
The filter frame is made of lightweight and durable aluminium. Its surface has been covered with a black coating with a special finish that minimises the risk of flare, while being resistant to damage and scratches.
Each of Irix Edge filters are sold in an aesthetic and functional case that provides adequate protection both during storage and transportation.
