Am interested in getting past just Reflected Light bouncing off the OUTSIDE of a turning by looking into adding a light source to the INSIDE of a piece.
Been playing with little battery powered LEDs inside turned pieces - using holes to let light out - and translucent material (white PVC pipe) to allow light through. Have found a variety of small, inexpensive, battery powered LEDs and have done two Proof Of Concept pieces that demonstrate TRANSMITTED LIGHT and TRANSLUCENCY Lighting.
So far, so good - and - as the guy on Laugh In would say - "Verrrry Interrrrestinggggg.".
