House LED Lights To Bright!!

[gaters]

Wonder if anyone can help me. We have had some LED up and down lighters put on the outside of our house. For those of you who have them, you will agree they are a very bright and "cold" light. My wife hates them. I am looking for some tape that could be used over the lamps to "warm" the lights - has anybody out there successfully done this and if yes how?

I've seen car paint used for this purpose - something yellow-y and warm.

Failing that, try finding some photographic (or stage lighting) 'gels' - clear coloured plastic sheet which is heat resistant. Tape it over the lights and admire the effect!


Oli.

Great ideas - I will try this and let you know if it works!!

Haven't you ever seen a public building at night? On a domestic scale, apart from the house, you can uplight things in the garden like trees and bushes which can look quite good.

Your right. The idea of up and down for us was practical and aesthetic. Looks really good as gentle light both up and down against our stone house. Would recommend them!!

Why not just change the lamps. Im sure your supplier will swap them.

These lights are tiny, the same size as a match box and we have about 10 of them. I thought it easier just to cover the light area which is the size of a 5pence piece.
