Star filters are dramatic multi-point light flares or rays of light also know as a "star effect" to bright or strong point light sources in a scene. Star filters come in 3 different varieties: PRO1D STAR 4, STAR-SIX and STAR-EIGHT, they have 4, 6 or 8 light beams respectively emanating from the light source.

Each of the filters, PRO1D STAR 4, STAR-SIX and STAR-EIGHT have different patterns of lines etched in the glass to create the number of rays of light for the filter.
