One of our main tools we use is a simple film canister. It is great for turning a directional flashlight in to a "bare bulb". It make the flashlight visible from almost any angle. This set up is what we use to make our orbs, domes, and any occasion that requires the light source to be visible at many different angles. To add color simply print out any color you want onto regular printer paper and tape it on. This particular flashlight is the perfect size for the canister to snap on and only costs around 8 bucks USD. They can be taped on if they don’t fit.
