VS Climate Control Screen Colour Change

[monarols71]

You mean something like this??

Yeah mate, that's exactly what I am after. How did you go about doing it?

 

[Verynice]

i managed to slide out the green diffuser carefully using tweezers, then marked out a clear one, cut it to same shape and slipped it back in

 

[RoboticCherry-Coke]

Ah sweet, is there any need for a clear one or can I just leave the diffuser out completely? If I need one what should I make it out of?

 

[Verynice]

I dont THINK you need to, i did it more for less chance of hotspots of where the light it shining, making sure the screen had an even flow of colour.


Make them out of plastic 2L milk bottles

Ah cool, I would have never thought of using a milk bottle but yeah I am fairly worried about hot spots so I will do it just in case.

Thanks man.

I didn't use a diffuser, just took the green one out.
I used wide angle pcb mount led's in parrallel on a small piece of veroboard.
I have another one half done somewhere, so I'll get some pics of the screen light.
