Deben filter


Recommended Posts

Hi lads,the rabbits my way are starting to turn a tad lamp shy so it was time for a red filter but i really didnt want to spend about £15 posted on one as im a bit skint ,so i decided to make one.

Heres some pics ,it certainly isnt pretty but it works just as good as any red filter ive ever used :thumbs:

First i made a template around 2mm bigger than the lamp so i could fold it over as to not let light excape.

then i drew it on the red filter stuff :L i also made 4 tabs on there so i could fix it to the lamp better.

then i taped it on lol

it is surprisingly bright and ideal with the dimmer switch,hopefully give it a go tonight :thumbs:

I too am up for making home made stuff, I used a green filter from an unknown source, and cut it down to fit my nightsearcher, works great, green is the best colour for us humans to focus our eyes on at night, and the normal lamp shy rabbits did'nt start running when the lamp was on them :thumbs:

 

however, leaving the lamp switched on, for too long a perion, saw the green filter melt :thumbdown:

 

back to the drawing board :hmm:
