Do a search on Ebay for red lighting filter, you will find a lot like this one. Larry

I have tried that but didn't like it. It did throw out a red tint, though.
I am curious to find thin-red plexiglass.

You need to find something that is fairly optically correct so that it does not disperse your light too far out of the beam. There used to be glass filters for optical color seperation printing that were very good, lighting gels like the above are intended for just your application and come in differing shades of red. Good luck, I may even be able to find a little chunk of red filter material laying around, I will send it off to you if I can locate some. Larry

Thumbs up

Kenny I've used Dykem Steel Red Layout Fluid in a spray aerosol can.

I just spray the light lens, works good lasts long time. I think its around $10 a 16 oz can.

I think I learned of this trick on the preditor masters site.

Have fun.

Steve
