Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi, I want to make something with lights that can been seen but don't light up the area around them. I want to stop the glow from the lights though the lights themselves can still be seen. Is there any way to do this, could I use a filter?

Thank you, Antony

Hi Antony,

I'm not sure that I understand what you are trying to do. Are you wanting to design lights that only light up a certain area in a specific direction (like a spotlight)? Or are you wanting to design a light that can't be seen at all?

Any additional details you can provide will help us help you more effectively!
