So in addition to my question regarding lighting yesterday - as I said, I bought two
such basic lamps . I wrote here that they produced a very strong and harsh lighting, and then somebody advised me to diffuse the lights, but I don't know how. I put a dark-green sweater on one of them and the lighting was perfect then, but after realizing that I'm an idiot 5 minutes later I removed said sweater from the light and it was burning hot and smelled like the Vietnam war.
What can I possibly put on the lamp to dim/diffuse the lights significantly without causing a fire after a few minutes?
