EwJ:
If the 'spotlight' effect is a problem, perhaps some of Mikedeuce's button discs with only the white covering on the bottom could be used to diffuse things a bit?

The spotlight isn't a problem at all, especially with these lens fixtures.  I was just saying it's hard to take an accurate picture because the spotlight appears brighter in the photo than real life.  Thanks though.

Tahnok:
Probably a stupid question, but have you tried your camera in macro mode? Make the room dark, turn off the flash, put the camera into macro, and put it on a tripod. That's what I've found works best for taking pictures of anything backlit (mainly, LCDs).

EwJ:
Sorry, last post i meant the button discs as an alternative to lens fixtures and/or sanding led's down.
These lens fixtures sound great too - lots of new developments in lighting here lately. Hope you can get some good pics to show.  For camera - as mentioned above -macro mode is good for close-ups, also, if your camera has a 'spot-metering' feature, this gives proper exposure regardless of backlight- it may help - good luck.

Thanks guys,

I'm sure this camera has a macro mode, just not sure where it is.  I will try to find the instruction booklet this weekend.  Thanks again for the tips gents.
