How Do I Colour A Light Bulb?

Question

hey guys just wondering if there is an easy way to color light bulbs.... preferably with stuff around the house? Food dye no good :D :D

Answer 1

you can buy colored bulbs online and at places like Home Depot.

Answer 2

With a high heat resistant color pen. Some art suppliers might carry this. As to find a house hold item? I believe there is nothing in house hold goods that can do this. A sharpie if you consider that an everyday house hold item. PS: a low wattage bulb doesnt burn as hot, so i would recomend that or one of those energy efficient bulbs. The colors might vary though, incandescent bulbs burn hot hues (red), while energy efficient bulbs burn cool hues (blue).

Answer 3

dude! just color a thin paper and wrap around the light bulb

Answer 4

Thinking back to my School Dance days - paint is not recommended  it can make light bulbs explode spectacularly: and tissue paper can burn the house down. The fire at Windsor castle was caused by a light bulb too close to some flammable fabric.

They sell the real thing nowadays cheaply enough not to run any risks.
