This sample used strip mount LEDs which probably makes more sense than traditional LEDs because of the mounting. But, to diffuse normal LED's I've found one decent technique is to simply grid off the rounded top of the LED. I used a 60grit sanding wheel, which left the clear plastic pretty scuffed up. But that was enough to really diffuse the light. Wouldn't work on those strip leds, though :) I like the idea though, esp the look once it filters through the white plastic and then the colored overlay. |
