I've been fortunate enough to work together with one of the largest gel manufacturers in the world to pull together these three exclusive gel packs. These packs incorporate all the gels I use on regular basis to create my distinctive coloured gel shots. I have been using LEE filters gels exclusively for over a decade in my photography because in my opinion they make the best products for what I need day-to-day, so when I had the opportunity to put together these packs I jumped at the chance.
Each of the three packs I have available here cover three very different ranges. I have my Definitive Colour Pack that contains my main colours; these are the colours I use for maximum saturation and impact. This pack also includes a few duplicates of the main colours to create specific looks that incorporate side lighting for example where you'd like the same colour on each side.
The Pastels Colour Pack contains a range of subtler tones. This pack is great for when you don't want colour to completely dominate a shot or you want to just add an accent of colour to compliment certain fashion pieces. This pack also contains duplicate gels of the main core colours.
The Utility Gel Pack is a range of filters that are primarily for more subtler effects. It contains colour balancing gels for daylight and tungsten plus it also contains neutral density gels and diffusion gels. You can either use these gels on their own or in conjunction with the other gel packs.

Well it may be easy to think that gels are all the same, after all it's just a little bit of plastic right? Unfortunately that's not the case. But take it from somebody who has probably used more gels than most, LEE filters certainly produces a superior product. One of the most important differences with LEE filters is the thickness of their gels, that extra thickness in their gels gives me a much richer and more even colour spread with far less of a 'hotspot' over the cheaper thiner gels. The added benefit of this extra thickness is obviously durability and when you're having to use the gels with your very hot modelling bulbs on, thinner gels can warp, buckle and even burn-through very quickly indeed.
LEE filters is one of the largest gel manufactures in the world and as with most gel manufactures they specialise in gels for stage lighting, TV shows and big films. As a result they make those gels on massive rolls and usually tend to sell them like that to. For us photographers, we don't tend to need huge rolls of twenty different colours as that can get pretty costly very quickly. What I've been able to put together here are packs of smaller sheets specifically designed for both strobes and speedlights. Also LEE filters makes upwards of nearly a thousand different gels so knowing where to start and what colours to go for can be a bit daunting to begin with. The packs that I've put together use colours that I use regularly to provide maximum colour saturation and that work well in conjunction with one another based on strong colour theory and years of trial and error.
Yes you can use them on your speedlights and any other flashgun as well as your studio strobes. The size of each of the sheets is 10"x12" (255mmx305mm approx.) so you could even cut a strip off the bottom of them and use that for your speedlights and still have a large enough gel left for your strobe.
This is a good question because I can speak from experience when I say I've tried a lot of different ways of keeping the gels on my lights. Some lighting modifiers actually come with custom built gel clips but for those that don't, I simply recommend tape. Not just any tape though, avoid masking tape, brown tape and clear tape like the plague as they all get very gooey and sticky when heated under hot lights, plus they will often leave sticky residue behind on your gels and modifiers. The best tape I've found is the black gaffers tape, this is the thick fabric-like tape you can buy online for only a few pounds/bucks. This is not to be confused with the silver duct tape as that is super gooey when hot and will leave your gels in a real mess.
Here's a couple of examples on how to attach your gels to various modifiers using that black gaffers tape.
