Best way to Diffuse light on an led?

(1/2) > >>

AmericanDemon:
I am trying to find a simple way to diffuse light on an LED.  It will probably be a superbright led.  Not sure of sizing yet.  But I was curious as to what everyone else has tried....

ChadTower:
Do you want to diffuse it or just dim it?  If you want to dim it, give it less voltage.

Witchboard:
I'm going to have to diffuse a couple of LEDs on a project of mine and thought of sandblasting/sanding one side of a piece of plexi and put over it.  The pieces I'm looking at will probably be around a nickle to quarter size.

RandyT:
Paint them with superglue and then sprinkle them with glass sandblast beads?


I haven't tried it, but it sounds like it should work :)

Sand the outside with 400 grit sandpaper. You can make it light more evenly by sanding the rounded end flat. A lot of PC case modders have used this technique to good effect.
