23:22 rue_house that the second ambulance in like the last half hour going towards camp byng
23:24 rue_house ebay has headlight tint film, $1.50 for 30x60cm sheet, which is fine, but there are no packs with a bunch of colours
23:27 Lola8088 go check your front porch

23:27 Lola8088 in the box with all the lighting equipment, there might be some gel sheets in there
23:27 Lola8088 no the dollar store won't have them
23:28 Lola8088 i can't hear well... baby boy has been crying for over an hour

23:32 rue_house http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/dura-lar-pad-679910/ maybe $10 for a colour set isn't that bad
23:33 rue_house bah, its clear anyhow
23:34 Lola8088 http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-pack-Lighting-Gels-Par-38-to-64-6-Color-Filter-Gel-Sheet-FREE-SHIPPING-/171042892869?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27d2f36c45

23:35 rue_house so I'm doing pretty good so far
23:36 rue_house and the sources I have are 20cmx60cm sheets
23:36 rue_house or 30x60
23:36 Lola8088 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=lighting+gels&_sacat=0&_from=R40
23:37 rue_house funny enough its cheaper to cut up iphone cases :)
23:37 rue_house more colour variety too
23:37 rue_house the gels are made for higher temp, so I expect them to cost more... paging thru...
23:38 Lola8088 two fifty a sheet
23:39 Lola8088 any colour
23:39 rue_house I have $1.44
23:39 rue_house http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Auto-Car-Light-Headlight-Taillight-Tint-Vinyl-Film-Sheet-Car-Beauty-Kit-Sticker-/221224196051
23:39 Lola8088 they won't fade, and they are nice and thick
23:39 rue_house I wonder what UV acrilic gel is...
23:39 rue_house granted, this is just led tho
23:40 rue_house the idea is to buy a bunch of 1W white leds
23:40 rue_house use filters
23:40 rue_house I can get coloured 1W leds for $27
23:41 rue_house I think the filters would be more consitent on brightnes
23:41 Lola8088 thank goodness... he's asleep~!
23:41 Lola8088 my word... that took... well since before eight
23:42 rue_house :/
23:42 rue_house I think I'm trying to shave too many pannies off
23:42 rue_house pennies
23:42 rue_house I should either get the whiteones and th filters or the coloured leds
23:42 rue_house its less than $30 either way
23:42 rue_house which isn't that much
23:43 rue_house if I dont spend it too often
23:43 Lola8088 how many colours do you need?
23:43 rue_house oh I tested a 1W led I have, and altho its a single point light, the paper disperces it really well
23:43 rue_house I'm an idiot
23:43 rue_house I can just use coloured paper
23:43 rue_house or tissue paper
23:43 rue_house ugh
23:43 rue_house :)
23:44 Lola8088 nope.. that will fade
23:44 rue_house I doubt under the leds it would
23:44 Lola8088 just regular exposure to any room lighting fades paper
23:46 Lola8088 how many colours do you need?
23:46 rue_house oh, as many as I can
23:46 rue_house :)
23:46 Lola8088 thhhhhhhthhpt.
23:46 rue_house with the leds I can get red blue yellow org green ans white
23:46 Lola8088 i'm going downstairs
23:49 Lolina8088 dinner was sooooo good!
23:49 Lolina8088 we had coconut curry Oh Yum
23:49 rue_house !!
23:50 rue_house there is an import charge on tisue paper
23:50 rue_house ...
23:51 rue_house I should get the leds and work the rest out later
23:51 rue_house I see lots of options here
23:51 Lolina8088 don't buy tissue paper online
23:51 Lolina8088 i have at least 20 colours here at the house
23:51 rue_house no, $12 min shipping
23:52 Lolina8088 and it won't look good with a light behind it
23:52 rue_house I'll get the white leds, work from there
23:52 Lolina8088 so how many per seg for the 1w?
23:52 rue_house I'm gonna get the extra extra bright (capable) ones
23:52 rue_house 1
23:52 rue_house :)
23:52 rue_house it looks great too
23:53 rue_house even with paper
23:53 Lolina8088 nice
23:53 rue_house yea, ok, I'm gonna order these
23:53 Lolina8088 hmmm... there are fade resistant papers... scrapbookers use them
23:53 rue_house these are atleast 2x as bright as the one I teted with
23:54 Lolina8088 there's a scrapbooking place above the sally
23:54 rue_house I'm not so sure it would fade... no UV
23:54 rue_house but I'm interested to fine out!
23:54 Lolina8088 if there are florecent lights in the same room, regular paper will fade out
23:54 rue_house behind glass tho?
23:54 Lolina8088 yes
23:55 rue_house ok
23:55 rue_house I can get the headlight tinting stuff too
23:55 Lolina8088 you've got that place lit up like a second sun taped to your ceiling.
23:55 rue_house :)
23:56 Lolina8088 with the 1w, you have the led placed all the way to the back or jacked up like the others we tried?
23:56 rue_house back
23:56 rue_house it came thru really evenly
23:56 Lolina8088 nice!
23:57 rue_house I was ok with them being $1 ea
23:57 rue_house I just bought 50 for $15
23:57 Lolina8088 you could paint the insides white also if the paper is to thin
23:57 rue_house only need 25 for the project
23:57 Lolina8088 nice score
23:58 rue_house hmm I bought 50 cause the deal on the coloured ones would have been 50
23:58 rue_house ah well
23:58 rue_house this way I can get more colours
