<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P>What about just painting the glass of the bulb with latex paint (winsor-newton...). So you try purple, or red, or even a really gross yellow. Brush it on with a sable brush to avoid brush strokes for an even light pattern... You could even have one side one color and the other side another color...
