The Kupo KCP-347 Wooden C47 clothespin is a simple, lightweight clamp designed for on-set use. It serves primarily to attach gel filters to the barn doors of hot lights. The pack contains 50 pieces per bag.
Use these wooden C-47s to secure gel filters quickly and reliably to lighting barn doors. Because they are inexpensive and lightweight, crews keep several on hand for fast adjustments during shoots. Additionally, they work well as general-purpose clamps wherever a small, reliable hold is needed.
Wood acts as a good insulator and does not conduct heat well. Therefore, wooden clothespins are well suited for use near hot lights. In contrast, metal would transmit heat and plastic could melt, which makes wood the safer choice for this specific application.
Besides lighting tasks, these clothespins are suitable for darkroom work. For example, use them to hang drying film or to hold paper during printing in the darkroom. Their simple spring design makes them versatile for both film and lighting workflows.
