I looked on the mcmaster.com website and found a 3/4 od 1/2 id 1/8th thickness polyethyl tubing in translucent white(misty colored) that with a bit of greasingmight pull thru the polycarb blade. would be mostly seethru and would hold the color lighting pretty well according to the website, has a nice flex and durability rating, and a long life crack resistance.
Flexible Polyethylene Tubing
Polyethylene Material LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene)
it is sold in feet and would prolly be a great buy.
would you agree with my findings?}

I am pretty sure I have ordered every 3/4 tube mcmaster sells. The only thing that would fit inside my tubes was the 3/4 hdpe and it dims the light too much. I am working with a plastics company to have a tube similar to what mr uses on the inside made.

so you find that the MR Blades work pretty well with the LEDS?

They work good..but they arent very strong..so for now they work until I find something I am happy with.

what about the film that ultra uses? he makes the completed blades in varying thickness of outside tube walls and puts the film in there.
just a thought strydur.

I think you are talking about corbin's blade film. It works ok but it can be a pain to install and has a seam. I will wait till I find what I consider the perfect diffuser.
