lighting gel--thin sheets of heat-resistant colored plastic--can be purchased from any theatrical lighting supply shop (including online from barbizon.com) and easily wrapped around incandescent or compact florescent light bulbs using a little scotch tape. they come in literally hundreds of colors, and each sheet will cover between 6 and 8 bulbs for less than $10.

Gel is a great way to set the mood for your parties and have a different look for each party you throw. Not to mention the fact that you can "dim" CFLs by using a saturated color to decrease the amount of light.

For a less affected look, try using ambers or oranges, which is similar to the color incandescent lamps glow when they're dimmed.
