Hey guys I've got a piece of frosted perspex 330mm x 170mm for a small project I'm doing, and I want to light it up blue. The reason I chose frosted perspex is hopefully it will help diffuse a light to create a even glow rather than a bright light. Just wondering what the best way to do this is? I want to achieve as even glow as possible. I was thinking of mounting led's in the edges of the perspex. Has anyone done something similar before and how did you do it? Cheers
I've recently been experimenting with perspex for an upcoming mod. Found this page where he is doing what you describe, see halfway down: http://forums.losias.net/viewtopic.php?p=1510 I've found that drilling + mounting LEDs inside perspex tends to reflect the light inside the sheet, and show at the edges (kinda like Fiber-optic), probably not the desired effect you want.
Thanks for that link mate. The look he achieved in this photo is exactly the way I want mine to look ( in blue of course )
