Seamaster Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Hi, I have a couple of excellent torches including a head torch but they don't have any red LED's. I wondered if anyone local to Derby had a small bit of the Rubylith film I could scrounge to adapt one of them? I could buy a small piece for a nominal price if that helps but I just don't need a large piece as I have no plans to use my laptop outside. I could buy some but it seems to only come in large sections which I'd never, ever use. A but cheeky I know but if you don't ask? Cheers Neil Derby.

Doc Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's not an April Fools joke It works well, I've done it before just make sure you get the deep red variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamaster Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks to all, I think I am sorted now. I also now have an extensive range of make up and am looking into some stilettos to complete my astronomy set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
