Red lights would make it look like the red light whore house districk in Amsterdam....

I do not know about whore house districts – it does not bother me too much. The decision I made to built into second section (from throat) 1” thick 4”deametr Plexiglas round window. Then I will be able to bring into it any light I wish.

I more and more inclined nowadays to finish horn with my room color. The room is finished by sea sand color – it light and soft tone. The hone most like will be the same but texture surface. The light I would like to come from horn will not be the modeling light but rather filling light. I was thinking about 5W-8W luminescent light behind some kind of color filter that would give to the whole horn some worm feeling. I do not need the horn light to actually light the room but just a bit bright up the horn’s bell.

The idea of the red light comes to me with my recent experiences. When I bought this house it came with way outdated bathroom. I completely rebuilt the entire bathroom: new walls/floor, new pipes, new electricity and the all the rest restroom elements – the whole full blown scenario. While I was doing it I put in play some of my long-standing preferences – to have my own bathroom to behave as it is a hotel restroom. I love how some of the hotel restroom are made and my bathroom doe the same. It has ways to be instantly heated (1.75kW fan), it has no shower curtains anywhere but has pitched flood and drain hole in the middle of the room, it has some other features. One of the features that I put in play is a Red Heating Lamp at the ceiling. I loved those lamps in bathrooms all my life but I never had it. Besides the nice instant heat then give a very pleasant tone.

Since I begun to use my new bathroom I find myself absolutely in love with the Heating Lamp. I fill up my 95 gallon bathtub and while I soaking in there the red light from the Heating Lamp works phenomenally pleasant. In fact I very frequently do not even use the white light in bathroom. So, from here I feel that red right in the belly of the horns will give me the similar pleasure. Hey, if not then it would not be a big deal to change the color filters.
