Just registered today. I did a little digging, and was wondering why one couldn't use something like Roscolux. Granted the performance is no where near as good as a thin film bandpass filter, but in reviewing page 25 of the Chemical Patent for the dark reader, it doesnt seem like a great deal of precision is needed. A downside is Roscolux can drift over time, but with the very lower power levels in this application, it would seem to be pretty limited. Roscolux typically being a disposable used in theatre lighting is very inexpensive. Any thoughts? *Ron Amundson 21:37, 6 March 2009 (EST)
