202013 — The components of an LED light bar are fairly simple, yet contribute to a robust and integrated whole that allows for a reliable lighting experience.

Very modest hint 🙂 yes, you are right! I did eventually went to a big Supermarket and just started browsing in its manufactured goods department as someone suggested. And you anticapated my godsend, but I forgot to give you credit. Lets correct that.

You can cut a shower curtain or something similar to fit it. There's really limitless ways to diffuse light cheaply. Head down to a dollar store and peak around. You'll find something!

If you can't find what you want online, I would make a trip to your fabric store. You could likely get the exact density you want for under 5 dollars. A yard of diffusion and some Velcro would probably be exactly what you need.

Sadly those 3x3 inches shower cap diffusors will be too small for my light which is about 3x5 in size, otherwise a nice solution.

As the post above mentioned, I have found umbrellas to be the most portable softening method (either reflecting or diffusing). However, I am questioning whether a small LED like that will have enough power to be used with a reflector. The problem with the clip-on diffusers is that they are so small that you might as well just get a slightly larger LED panel and not have to deal with the hassle.

I use the Aputure HR672C a lot. I would estimate that it is as soft as most of the diffusers suggested in this thread except the umbrellas and it's still fairly small. On the plus side it's a single unit and it doesn't lose any output through diffusion/reflection. If it's far away from the subject it will still be a rather hard light, so to get as much softness as possible out of it I sometimes cram it as close to the frame as possible.

If you want even softer, try combining both ideas by making a book light (bounce off white, then diffuse). You'll need to be working at low light levels for that to work though as it'll kill the output.

Or alternatively use the white one and bounce them. Basically just do whatever you can to spread the light out over a larger area.

I have taken to throwing a bunch of Aputure spacelights (lantern type diffusers) that I already own and throwing them over the LED panels when necessary. They fold up so compact that I can take them anywhere and the result is quite neat.

The lightest way to get soft light would be to use a ring-light, just be wary of the distinct pupil reflections and somewhat unnatural look if you don't have an additional keylight.

Early in the thread, someone suggested regular diffusion gels, which come in a variety of grades and light transmission rates.

Back in the day we had stuff called "tracing paper", although it probably wouldn't have the heat tolerance of baking paper, for, well, obvious reasons!

Dec 15, 2020 — Five principles for responsible outdoor lighting: it must be useful, targeted, controlled, have low light levels and use warm colors.

You could get a cheap 5-in-1 reflector off Amazon. Use the translucent one and arrange a few of your lights to spread out over the whole surface.

Exactly. An LED panel is in itself a soft light source (as long as you don't get those with 6 LED diodes), the only thing it lacks is size. Adding diffusion in itself doesn't do anything, what is needed is to increase the size. For an on-camera-light, that's pretty much impossible without making it cumbersome to use.

Sadly those 3x3 inches shower cap diffusors will be too small for my light which is about 3x5 in size, otherwise a nice solution.

The thing is, I can diffuse it in controlled environment like my studio no problem, but I need a somewhat portable on-the-go solution.

There's a type of parabolic reflector where you put the light-source in the middle facing away from the subject (and directly into the reflector) and that should make the light source the size of the reflector.

The idea could easily be applied to whatever size you like if you're after an on-camera solution like @BTM_Pix suggested:
