For best results, a filter passband should mimic the emission of the LED spectral output curve.


A filter passband that is too broad for the LED spectral output curve results in overwhelming ambient light.


A filter passband that is too narrow for the LED spectral output curve and its +/- tolerance shift results in loss of illumination and darkening of the image.
