Does anyone know if you can adjust these setting to help lower "Red" intensity?

They are stage lights

Sounds like they are a small but bright object, such that they don't impact exposure so they are overly bright. Not much you can do. If you use Lightroom or Photoshop you could perhaps paint them with the Adjustment Brush and bring down exposure on them.

What are you using for post processing the images (and are you shooting RAW)?

 

Good image adjustment software (e.g. Lightroom) will let you adjust saturation or luminance by color (you can desaturate or decrease the brightness of just one particular color without effecting the others.)

 

Also, many programs that allow you to adjust "levels" are typically showing you the "luminance" channel (the luminance channel is the entire visible spectrum of light) but many of the better editors will let you pick just one color channel and adjust levels on that channel alone.

 

I wouldn't fuss over the picture styles.

Desaturating a single color works if that color is too prominent over the whole image, but in this case it could drain red out of places that need it. A better approach might be to suppress the highlights (since that's evidently what the red lights are in this situation). DPP lets you do that, so the Adobe products probably do as well.

You can localize any adjustment in LR by "brushing over" the adjustment area.  Any global adjustment (exposure, contrast, highlights & shadows, white balance, saturation, etc. etc.) can usually also be applied to a brushed on area.

If you are shooting RAW and processing in Lightroom Picture Styles in camera don't matter.

Use the Adjustment Brush to paint and reduce the luminance of the red lights.
