Just picked up a pair of white glass globes for a song. Thinking of giving them the tea-stained basketball-net treatment, and wiring up some strong colored bulbs. In the dark, the opacity doesn't seem to be that off-putting. Also thinking of trying to snap off the "rim" and just leaving the globe itself - but that seems like it might lead to disaster.

"Andy tips to defuse the light?"

perfect time of year for the question.
I have a fish trap light much like that.
What we got for it was those orange globe Christmas c7 type string of lights, well they are Halloween lights.
But they are not as off putting when you can see them a bit.
I just put the whole string in there draped around a bit.

Hope that helps.

I really like that idea. Will have to see what lights show up in the stores around here.
