Bulb coloring
for at least 15 to 20 years, or so, I have been buying R30 75 watt reflector
floods at the electrical supply house that had "painted" ones. they are painted a pink color that looks great in the den, which has used brick walls and other items that look nicer with colored lighting. I want to replace these with compact fluorescent reflector floods that are colored the same. I have been unable to find them so far using Google, nor finding a paint or lacquer to color plain bulbs. The incandescent 75 watt bulbs I have been buying appear to have been painted after the manufacture of them, and with a paint that peels from the heat somewhat after a while. The compact fluorescent bulbs only get warm, so whatever I paint them with does not have to be very heat resistant. Anybody know what kind of paint or lacquer I can use that will allow enough light through it to be practical in coloring these bulbs? Thanks, Bob |
