ndwlegal Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 03/24/2014 7:12 pm I have two Jansco's and have wrapped some paper towels around the bulbs to diffuse, but I was curious if there isn't a better way. I sometimes feel the light is still a touch harsh. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/25/2014 09:44 am I don't know what a Jansco looks like but here's what I tried with my OTT-LITE's. I started with a plastic half gallon milk container, the frosted type. I cut the complete top off then slide the bottom over my lights. RESULT: It didn't diffuse the light enough BUT maybe you could improve on the idea. Here's a picture of my setup. Note the milk container in back of the right light. Report this Post to the Staff

As I recall I did a Google search and waded through all the returns until I found this one. I think it was about $40. Report this Post to the Staff
