[Swansea Hackspace] LED diffuser

[Graham Owens]

Gah, the ping pong's give exactly the look I wanted but I don't want to cause a fire hazard, and the triangles look really cool, are safe but are pretty hard to make. (in comparison to sticking a pingpong over an led)

Think I will have to keep looking.

This LED triangle creates a beautiful even diffusion using acrylic and a painted cavity: http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-a-great-LED-triangle/ (laser cutter required)


With regards to ping pong balls - keep in mind that they’re very flammable:

Someone was asking about good diffusers for an LED the other day?

Just seen this article using ping pong balls, looks pretty good.
