light "guard" ideas

here is a lightguard:The thing about them is that it is not that hard to take them down and put them back up, so there are a few ideas that i have had for them:
>The first idea I have already done- i took the one down in my room and we put a bunch of christmas lights into it and ran an extension cord along the ceiling and turned the main light off and the christmas ligths on- that was awesome

>The other ideas I had have to do with using the lightguards as installation peices throughout the dorm- because they are in all the hallways.
---One idea is paint them, with regular paint or watered-down (and so semi-transparent) paint- and that leaves alot of things open- an eye-ball is an easy obvious one. but you could do the earth, just plain words circling or spiraling, etc.
---Another idea is sort of a play on stenciling- if you make a stencil and tape it (using minimal amounts of clear, scotch or packaging tape) to the inside- you use the light to draw out the stencil- keeping in mind that i think you'd have to do it backwards but thats not really a problem because a stencial can be made normally and just flipped. but you now have a really simple place to get your stencils so many people will see them and this (unlike the paint) is non-destructive.

[in case you are someone reading this who could potentially get me in trouble for any of this- i hope you are enjoying my JOKE website. its a place where i post things that i would NEVER do in real life because I don't damage school property, i just like to indulge in fantasies here on the internet because it isnt real].
