Milky tubes (diffused)

XCold, XWarm, XNeutral, XPink

These are diffused and soft. They generally produce a brighter light-painting trace, but they don’t cast much light on the subject

Holographic tubes (reflective)

Rainbow, Sugar, Alien, Turquoise, BlueGreen, Pearl, Easter, RedPink, Sunset, Watermelon, Peach, RainbowTrout

These are reflective and sometimes harsh (depending on how you use them). Most are producing more than one color, but the variations might be visible only in the reflection (when shooting on water for example).

Olympic tubes (reflective)

Gold, Silver, Rose-bronze, Red, Blue

These are reflective and can be very harsh. These are the ones that bring the more light forward (on the subject). The light-painting trace they create is never as bright as the milky tubes.
