Question about photon blade tip with Neopixels

Hi all,
With a neopixel blade (using pixel strips, not a KR pixelstick) using photon blade material, what is the best way to diffuse the relatively transparent blade tip (and avoid any visible diodes)?

I wonder about adding a triangular piece of material near the end of the neopixel strip to bend the strip around it and point the last LED outwards towards the tip. This would be before the tip, so no pixels would be in the tip. From there, I could fill the blade tip inner chamber with hot glue to give it a white "core" like the rest of the blade will have. That last pixel LED could potentially illuminate the tip...

Does anyone have experience building one of these who could lend guidance?



P.S. Hopefully this is the right folder. If not, please let me know so we can move it.
