I used to use poster paint, the water based school stuff, to paint bulbs red for night use in the wheelhouse, but I know ofd the other stuff, try an arty type shop. Also used for painted stained glass.

Nail varnish?

Yes there is special stuff - It is used by Disk Jockeys (mobile Discos) for their flashing coloured lights.

It is sold as Glass Paint and Maplins sell it. There are two types - the heat proof stuff for 240 volts and the basic Arty stuff when it will not get hot.

Is bulb dip a sort of Dutch fondue?

Qiucksilver, the accessory arm of Mercury supply coloured silicone sleves for instrument lighting, means you don't need to repaint every time you replace a bulb.

Ah, but does that count as good taste or not?

Would sheep dip do instead?

In the Pilot House, there are many twin bulbed lights, with each bulb having its own switch. Therefore, for night work, I could either change one of the bulbs in the set to red, or paint the bulb. Therefore, investigating the possibilities...

The idea of the disco appealed to our sons - but not to us!
