Corner marker bulb

Post by philo » Mon Jul 05, 2010 7:56 pm

Not the teasing question of the decade but suggestions required anyway! The bulb blew the other day so I replaced it with a new one from Halfrauds (2.3watt). However, the old bulb had a green plastic cover on it that was impossible to get off without destroying. The question is, how do I get the green glow back again?

Cheers for the suggestions, you get what you deserve I think :D . The nail lacquer is not a bad plan, I'll have a rummage through Mrs Philo's drawers (ooer madam...)

The bulb is one of those tiny all glass blade type things that just pushes into place. so painting it is probably the best plan.
