hey guys, yeah sorry I don't have any more gels that will work unless someone figures out how to work with that brownish tint on the clock cover. The reds seem to be the best!
here is a link I found on amazon
Amazon.com: Rosco Rosco Lux Small Swatchbook: Camera & Photo

You can definitely find them cheaper online, you can also go to your local studio arts store and get a free swatch book.... Anyway i would go out and re stock my supplies but I've been slammed, i'm in my last semester, working, livin' the dream! Good luck guys and post your pics here when you get er' done

Are you guys using the red samples to turn the light red?

Anybody tried translucent red brake light tape to get a red clock color?

I'm years late to this thread, but wanted to check in—I used a dark red camera flash filter gel, just like the swatches you are working with. However, I'm having the same issue with the clock being dim (red, of course, is one of the harder colors to see during daylight).

The swatch I used was not thick at all, it was super thin. Still, it made my clock face amber-ish. I am thinking now that I need to re-pin my clock since what I need now is more brightness, and my clock is 20 years old

Does soldering the pins make the clock brighter?

Anybody ever find an alternative to this BS color gel method? Hoping after 5+ years someone found something new. Spent $15 online for a sheet of this Roscolux light filter """gel""" and it looks no different than some orange cellophane tossed behind the lens, shit's a joke and a half. Does an excellent job at dimming the light too despite being maybe 0.005" thick.
