You could get some 12x12 filters and cut them down to size. Or maybe
even
spilt filter. But then you'd have to worry about everything moving when you
change filters. Human mind seems to think everything is white so I'm not sure
what you've really got. I guess they're low voltage bulbs? Maybe redder then
normal house bulbs.
One thing I'm wondering about isn't it too fast? I thought those things
were
designed for contact paper. I've got one I got in a lot. It's an interesting
bit of history but I haven't actually used it.
