But a word of warning, you might have to use a second filter to block out the IR because the blue filter tend to transmit again towards the red end of the spectrum. So pick a short wave pass that lets blue though and combine it with a red-IR block.

Sep 26, 2015 at 15:39 comment added boyfarrell If you get the transmission spectrum of the filter in the range of interest you could do that. Blue-pass red-green-IR block are hard to find.
Sep 26, 2015 at 15:27 comment added Jand Thanks for the tip. What is important for me is the relative values not absolute measurement. So regarding that I'm not much of an electronic savvy, what about buying a consumer light meter and putting a transparent colored plastic filter in front of it?
