outside red light

[powerlord]

In case useful to folk - I'm doing up the garden at the mo, and will be installing power sockets to end of garden where my 'observation deck' is.

I got one of these:

its a bit bright tbh, but I liked the look and it will be about 6 feet from the deck.

Anyway, I got some plastic 'lens repair tape' for broken car taillights, and opened it up, and packed as many layers as I had tape on top of it.

and it works really well as a red light. I'll have a handy switch up there and might add a remote so easy to flip on and off when I need it. Getting sick of red head torches and the like.

You can also get RGB floodlights, that allow you to set the colour and the brightness e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303952907712?hash=item46c5014dc0:g:844AAOSwa0pgbrVM
