Cool light: recommended diffusion gel

Hi I am shooting with a combination of Cool light six bank flourescent and a kino flo. The kino flo is much softer and diffused but not as strong and powerful as the cool light. What kind of gel can i get for my cool light to best match the look of the kino flo?

thanks

You could put the same bulbs that are in the Kino into the CoolLight fixture or get some Lee diffuser material which is about $7 a sheet. There are degrees of diffusion so get a couple and try out which one makes the CoolLight match the Kino.
 
I wouldn't use a gel. I'd make a 2 x 4 foot or 4 x 4 foot diffusion frame and point it through that. Its not just about diffusion but also the size of the source. This is especially the case if you're comparing a 2 foot fixture like the 6x55 with a four foot fixture like a kino 4 bank.
