Looked at this and it's a great idea but I will have to fashion something very large to cover a meter's worth of parts spread out. I may also look at putting some velcro around the lights such that I can put this milk carton style filter (as a semi-opaque sheet) over the ceiling lights when I take pics of finished work.
