How to make floodlight lens red?

Film won't cut it for a halogen light like the OP put up. Paint will melt off, so will any kind of color tape.

Those suckers get crazy hot. That is a 500W lamp in there. Ridiculous amounts of heat!

I won't install those fixtures anymore. They are a high maintenance pain in the keester, besides being a heat source.

They are cheap though.

I recommend a fluorescent or LED fixture to replace it if you want to get red light. You can use overlay film with them and not have any issue

Leave the crap paper and hobby lobby stuff alone. Use this and dont look back. It can be re applied, made darker or lighter and even removed. All the guys I know that critter hunt use it on their lights. 10 bucks a can and will do 100 of those lights. Spray it till you get the tint you want. Ive got it on a 500,000 candle power spotlight used for yotes and you can still see 100+ yards. Still have dogs come into to less than 20 yards as well

Last can I bought straight from Grainger but some welding supply shops have it. When I googled it for the pic there was several places on line as cheap as 7 bucks a can. Get the aerosol and not the paint on stuff

Here it is for 10

It works well, so well if you get a can and aint happy, Ill buy it from ya. They make it in blue also

I agree that Dykem is the best, hands down. Been using them on my spotlights for varmint hunting for years. Dykem can definitely handle the heat.

Why not just leave it like it is. If it's on at night on a regular basis the animals won't even give it a second thought.

Not the regular animals that come in every night, but the wandering critters passing through could be alarmed
