    Probably not, most of the ones I see advertised are for tracing, if you're adventurous you could replace the
    white LED's with red ones or if you're not adventurous, overlay it with a red gel.
    From my understanding they're edge lit like a LCD monitor, the diffuser panel is what glows from the LED's .

    if you don't need a large one, I wonder if an iPad with colour filter set to red would work. be more spendy but if you have one that is old and gathering dust...otherwise I'd just get a sheet if gel and overlay.
    notch codes ? I only use one film...

    My dad tried making one with only red LEDs. However, it is not feasible. I think the white LED is pretty good too. Its diffuser is also clearer and less glare.

    You could add some diffusion to this:

    The very thin light tables have LEDS around the edge of the diffusion material light monitors do. Not something practical to DIY.
