Thread search: LED through laminate

SavannahLion:
Yep! That is exactly the project I was looking for.  :cheers:
RandyT:
That's a really nice effect.  If one doesn't wish to use woodgrain or similar, the very dark (~16% transmission) smoked plexi will hide it until it comes on as well.  Mirrored window tint would also be an interesting experiment.

My skeeball games use the same setup with red laminate, and it shines through very brightly.

I'm also interested about this. Could you give more details about the type of laminate? Do you think it would work through vinyl, or does it have to be quite a thin material?
DLinkOZ:
It seems to be pretty standard laminate, though a bit thin.  The result is pretty good, easily visible even with the joint lit up like christmas.  Look at the top of the right skeeball game on the left of this picture, you can see the scores shining through despite the lights being on, my flash being on, etc.
