Hello all,
first off, I'm sorry if I don't use the proper technical/English terms in my descriptions.
If you have questions regarding certain terms, just ask.
To the topic:
For a DIY project, I need a cheap light diffusing material. The setup is several lines of RGB LED strips next to each other. To avoid that the light of each single LED is seen in the lit area, I'd like to diffuse the LEDs light so that it appears to be (more or less) a single uniform light source. So, I'd be looking for a good light diffusing material, e.g. a film/foil or similar. It should be lightweight, flexible (bendable), and cheap. The diffusion material needs to cover an approximately 10x50cm (4"x20") field of LEDs.
Any ideas or suggestions on what material this could be? Either directly available in a store or easily producible by myself. Thanks in advance!
I've also used while plastic folders and cut out the two pockets. The white ones are sometimes hard to find.
