It would be easier to just use a lighter to start the fire.

The fire marshal is going to strangle someone with his bear hands when he sees this.

Wow, what a cheap way to start a fire!

I’m guessing a previous resident did that and no one noticed between semesters.

I wonder if it was done by a previous resident of that room. Are all the dorm rooms like that, or just yours?

On a Canadian warship I was on they were using blue garbage bags stuffed into the light fixtures to get blue lighting in the ops room

Hopefully this not a design school of any sort?

If you are going to do that, at least take the bulb down, its not hard, just spin it, and tape around the glass only – preferably rotating *around he glass.* Away from the electrical connections on the ends. Then pop it back int here.
This half assed, taped the long way job is not doing it for me.
But at the same time, don’t do this

I loathe that hard white led light, I’d do this in a heartbeat. Creative solution.

You can get lighting gels to do it properly
Rosco makes them

We had big drop down lights in my dorm and we used colored paper to turn the whole place red. It actually worked really well and we left it like that year round.

I feel like this violates some kind of fire code

I am quite sure, that this was done for painting the room and nobody bothered to take it down. This is a fire hazard, remove the tape.

Just buy full CTO gel filters from Rosco or Lee. That’s what we use in the film industry if we want to change colour temp.

Sounds like something uni students on a budget would do

I read that as dom and thought “good for you! Be proud of your kink!”
Then I realized it was the shortened form of dormitory… “Oh, nifty idea…”

our dorm’s lights are white and BRIGHT as fuck. even the study table’s tube light. we just ended up tapping all over it ourselves to make it warm. much better now.

I really first thought I read that your dorm uses tape worms as lights. Glad my double take was so off.

We also hated those bright white lights, so we’d hang Christmas lights all over and use those instead. And not the led ones now, these were the ones that world burn your fingers. Plug about 6 of those strings into an extension cord plugged into a strip plugged into the singular outlet of the building built in the 40s. I’m sure it was perfectly fine.
Plus, free extra heat in the winter, would bring the room temp up by a good 10 degrees.

Gonna guess an engineer lives there
I thought it’s a glowing baguette.
Does that tape have a UL approval stamp on it?
