Question about the LED blade diffuser for 1" thick walled blades

[poconosjon@aol.com]

Hello,

Is this to be used instead of the Foam tube for 7/8" thin and 1" thick tubes V2 or can this be used in conjunction with for better diffusing?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Hey

It’s my understanding that the foam is for led string & NeoPixel blades while the diffuser film is for in-hilt LED. What kind of blade are you building?

2nd Led string blade. 1st one has the foam and I sanded the blade with 400 grit. Still can see the seam line where the strips are joined. Will be wrapping with Cellophane to see if it corrects it. Was looking into alternatives and saw this in the store and was curious. It is not the film... https://www.thecustomsabershop.com/4...ades-P156.aspx

You mean neopixel not Led string right? Led string generally refers to individual 5mm LEDs that have been chained together to make the blade - you shouldn't get "seams" with that type of blade construction...

As far a seeing the seam int the blade; what strips did you use? Were they 144 diodes per meter with white PCB material? I've heard sometimes you can get visible seams if you use strips with black PCB material.

You Sir are correct - I assumed you were talking about the cellophane wrap when you said diffuser. I stand corrected. By the reviews it does seem like it is made for in-hilt LED though. The reviews seem to support the fact that it works. Hey, it may be worth a shot for 4 bucks!

Steve,

You are correct they are neopixel. I have the 144/m white. And for 4 bucks it is exactly what I was thinking... Once I get the new blade built ill let everyone know how it works... Thanks.

Wrap it with cellophane, it will help a lot.
