How to make a red light bulb?

If you want to make a red light bulb then you have come to the right place. I will give you some ideas so that you can go explore and build on these. This is compatible with different sizes such as E12, E26, E17 and many others.

Red paint

One method which is cheap and quite effective is to buy red paint that is specially designed for the purpose of colouring light bulbs. Do not buy any old paint and brush because what will happen is the layer will be too thick and the transparency of the glass will be lost. Using a very thin brush you can paint the standard bulb to allow only red light to pass through. The great thing about this method is that the drying time is only 30 minutes for most kits. Also you can choose many different shades of colour and are not limited to any generic colour.

Colour sticker

Using a transparent sticker is the quickest and cheapest way to transform the colour of lighting. When using the sticker do make sure that there are no imperfections or creases as this will effect the quality of the light. My favourite aspect of this method is that the sticker can easily be removed and substituted for another thereby transforming the colour of your room or garage really quickly.

Above are two cheap ways of how to make a red light bulb very cheaply and quickly if you do not have access to buy one. Remember these methods are not limited to any particular colour and can be applied to all of them includes several different shades.
