Swap it for a couple of candles or should that be 'fork handles'........?

A smaller wattage lamp is needed by the sound of it, re-price to fit a new Light

Unfortunately as soon as you start looking at flu tubes that are out of the normal bog standard range, things start taking off, ....price wise!! lol!!

You can get filters (colours) made to sleeve flurries (or more commonly and cheaply just wrap the tube in flat sheet and apply hot tape).

Fluorescent to Tungsten 3200K is an easy one.

Rosco Laboratories - Europe
Complete Colour Range for LEE Lighting Filters and Gels

and many others - just do some searching. To purchase, find your nearest theatrical lighting company.

We often use polycarb sleeves for T5 and T8 fluorescents in cold storage lighting. They come with silicone rubber end caps and they're called safety sleeves because they're primarily to contain the glass in the event of a tube shattering. We always use the clear ones but they do come in a full range of colours.

*Edit* Here's one UK supplier, I'm sure there's many others
