Flourescent Light

Would saran wrap melt if it were put over a flourescent light fixture like the kind typically at schools?
If you were to put red or pink saran wrap/plastic/anything other that lighting gels over those kinds of fluorescent lights used at schools, would it melt or light on fire?
I don't want to spend that much on lighting gels, so would colored plastic or saran wrap like material melt?
ANy suggestions for changing the color of these fluorescents to red or pink in an inexpensive way?
I am referring to lights similar to these: http://www.retex.com/images/HiBay_Fixtures.jpg
I was imagining putting the plastic flush to the ceiling not directly wrapped around the bulbs
cool and warm tubes have to do with the color not the temp of the bulb itself. The tubs get hot, especially near the ends. In my office they have slip on tubes of plastic that go over the fluorescent light. one side is dark and other is clear and it transitions on the sides. If you turn the tube it acts as a dimmer. When you touch them they are hot. I think hot enough to melt saran wrap. If you got some of those tubes and spray painted them pink it should work. If you use saran wrap make sure its below the bulbs, so if it melts it falls away instead of towards the bulb. and keep it at least an inch away from the bulb and leave gaps for cooling air.
