I have purchased some of these rectangular shaped halogen work lights. They operate at hi temp (500w lamps). I am contemplating colouring blue. Clear lacquer on the glass will burn, gels equally will melt (unless sandwiched between hi temp glasses). Any one have any thoughts? For discussion please.... Peter

Thanks the above. We are using a theatre with fully equipped pro rig/ dimmers/ DMX etc. The idea of using the halogen floods was mine since they are inexpensive and give a good output. I will persevere with the coloured glass concept. I noted on Channel 9 TV the other day that similar "stick” halogen lamps were sighted in fixtures. I will sound around. I am going to UK shortly to follow up some leads there. Your contributions greatly appreciated - I will keep you all informed - from an experienced Gaffer of yesteryear – and experimenting - Peter!!
