French term or phrase: mandarine
Hi
This term appears in some guidelines for a company that is producing its own in-house videos to publish on its website.
The rest of the document is very generalistic about the type of shots that should be taken etc, but I've got one page with all the technical details that's causing me real problems!

The term I'm having no success with, "Mandarine", comes in the following phrase, which is describing the lighting to be used:

Eclairage d’appoint : Arri 650 et Mandarine Gélatines : ½ CTB, ½ White Diff

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Ianiro 800 watt Red Head

The Red head is a versatile lightweight fitting weighing only 1.6Kg. With a rear mounted flood / spot control it adapts itself to many lighting problems. The 800 watt output being plenty for most jobs. This latest version now has gel clips on the 4 leaf rotating barn doors to hold spun or blue gels and an improved internal light trap and cable entry.

And here's a definition:

Red Head Lights

Red Head is a term used to describe general-purpose lights common in visual media work. Power rating is around 650-1000w, typically 800w.

Red heads can be used as a key flood light for large areas, but are also useful as fill and backlights.

The example pictured here is an Arrilite 800w open-face focusing tungsten floodlight. The beam is focused using the yellow control at the back — this adjusts the reflector rather than the lamp, which should give the lamp a longer life because it is not being moved.
