Last night I purchased the Model Power brand switch lights. Their number
8570 (or is it 8970). Anyway, I like the look of the units but I don't like the light output. All three lights (red, amber, green) are way too bright for scale and I don't like the redness of the red. Actually, none of the colors are where they should be. I know I can put a resistor in parallel (as soon as I figure out the value) but is there a paint or dye I can apply to the bulb to improve the color? Preferrably something thin that I can place a drop on the top and have it wash over the bulb rather than actually painting it.
Alternatively, it might be that once a resistor is installed, the light dimmed that it may come closer to the red and green that I want because there won't be such an intense light blasting through the colored bulb glass.
Am I on the right, er...track? Any thoughts?
TIA.
