I see what you mean Scam`, can you not paint them with an appropriate bulb paint of some kind ?

Thank you for the helpful pedantry but as far as research goes there are just too many peripheral influences to get a definite answer to specific questions about this or that set up or other. I find that im trying to read between the lines too often so in some cases its a good idea to stimulate...
