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?

[Strydur]

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.
