[sdiy] Diffused LEDs tip

[Bert Schiettecatte]

Now that we're on the topic, anyone got experience designing and
implementing light guides for LED lighting? I've been trying to find a
cheap way to light a piece of acrylic 6cm x 6cm in a uniform way using
LED(s). Sort of a light tile ...

Neat! You can also fabricate 'custom' bright / diffused LEDs with the
assistance of a grinding wheel and a steady hand. A lot of ultra-bright
LEDs are good for projection on other objects, whereas for visibility
it's better to have the light 'projected' onto and diffused through the
body of the LED itself.
