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

Just a thought is to check out the 'Meta rial Datta Sheet', as a guide.

The product may help & it could be a worth while idea?

I don't know if it could with stand to the temperature, generated by the Halogen bubble.But it could be of value?

G'donya STRAND 530!

I was starting to think on the lines of reflection or another weird things like an air gap, but that would be as useful as boobs on a bull - so I'm not much help!
