I just got this cheap 1 million candlepower spotlight with a 6 volt lead acid battery. I decided to put some glow in the dark paint on the bulb holder.
Now, after leaving the light on for about --well about the time it takes to set a light down, pee, and pick it up--I don't think the glow in the dark paint liked that at all.
The reflector was a swirling black smokey mess, and now the paint is charred black. The light still turns on but I think I need to pull the bulb holder off and see if I can remove the burnt stuff.
As much as I've worried about thermal management with LED mods, I don't know why I assumed a bright light like this would like some paint smothered close to the bulb. Oops!
