RE: Filters for CFL lamps

["Jim \(List\)" <jim.list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the tips, painting seems to be a good option and worth a
try!

Any suggestions on the type of paint, as I'm thinking it would need to be a
transparent coloured lacquer or similar, that would also stand the heat?

One room at my parents house uses full sized fluorescents (it was built in
the 1960s) and the original owner painted the fluorescents (pink and yellow
I seem to remember) to add warmth to the room. The bulbs were mounted
inside
the coving as uplighters which helps diffuse the light and each wall had
it's own colour. I don't see why it won't work with CFLs.
