your lamps are lovely. i'm not quite sure what you're wanting to do however... my guess is that you want to add color to these unique designs... i'm not sure that you can actually apply anything to halogen that won't burn off. they get very hot. why not have someone make a colored blown glass 'bulb' to fit over the existing bulb. i can't see the construction of your lamps, but i would think that a glass globe in front or over the halogen bulb might work.

where are your lamps sold? not that i could afford one, but i have some rich 'minimalist' friends!! :-))

cheers, Arlene snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com

The balls is allredy powder coloured, but there is some shadows from the GU10 bulb that i am trying to hide via the "paint"

this is the bulb GU10 that i am trying to paint on, at the area at the bulb right under A40-:

Maby i should try with some porcelain paint?

About my lamps:)

the "Light Shell" is sold by PHILIPS, i can get the connection for you ans i cna maby even get the fixture for a good price for your friends.

The Light Shaper still needs an manufacturor, but nobody want to produce it because PHILIPS got its "big brother" :-) quite saad hmm.. about the "BetweeN2ShapeS" the company that made it (Royal Scandinavia) has closed down their proffesional lighting fixture deppartment, and focus now on conventional lampshades and lampfeeds. I only got some of the prototypes here in my home that i can sell of until a new company takes over the production.

I hope that i have answers all of your questions, if not you are always welcome to contact me.

You are also always welcome to wisit my web blog where there is even more pictures of the fixtures and some of my other designs and some of my paintings.

Dear Richard,

Thank you for the answer.

Dicroic is too expencive if i just like to cower the light comming from the side of the bulb.

I need to do it on 50 bulbs and it has to be cheap and easy, and need to melt on to the bulb, and it will not explode i know that for sure.

Dear Richard i found an other solution, and that is to use paint for fireplace.

The carbon black is good to ~1100F. It's great when you have to heat aluminum as hot as you can get it in a flame without melting it.
