They are no longer black. Iwas trying to see if they work better after reading several articles on line. So I did paint some just on the inside as well. They got hotter than the non paint.

Is the sheild only for interferance or does in also help not to heat up other tubes near by as well? I thought that:
1. Shield protects tube from outside interferance
2. Protects surrounding tubes for getting heat generated form sheild tube.
3. Look good and hide the pretty filaments
