American DJ sells plastic roundells at a cheap cost. Otherwise McMaster Carr sells A-19 lamp size bulb covers which are kind of like a rubber boot that you slip over a lamp. Very interesting they are, I have one at work out of novelty as an idea for a safety cover/colored lamp for some stringer lights. We did not buy into it, but it certainly would provide a base color plus protect from shattered glass.
You can also buy bulk amounts of lamps in colors fairly in expensively thru lighting suppliers such as Halco, Bulb Man, Bulbtronics, Starlight Global, All Bulbs, Sitlers, and many many more suppliers. A decent bulk price would be in the range of $1.50 to $2.00 each for 100w A-21 lamps.
Just for future refrence in that you already did the show. How did it go by the way, decribe it further if you will. What types of effects did you do, what equipment and placements did you use? Any tricks or special things you want to pass on to others doing similar shows?
