Ping pong balls are a classic diffusion idea that is not used nearly enough, in my opinion. Cut a hole just big enough for your LED(s) (left) or cut them in half (right). Blast it with a cluster (like a NeoPixel Jewel, left) or use a single LED (right).

Plush toys add a volume of fiber around an LED, usually synthetic fiber fill, and creating some volume can spread out the light and also highlight different parts of the toy. I created my first LED soft toy for a plush nightlight assignment in college (I made "irradiated" plush steak and the Chatter Pillow). Now I teach that same assignment as an exploration of materials in my classroom at SVA Products of Design.

You can use backlighting in many other applications as well. Technically it's not diffusion, since the light is reflecting off of something else, but we'll include it in our brainstorm anyway! In my Internet Valentine project, I glued tiny sequin LEDs to the back of a tissue paper heart, and they reflect off the white card behind to give the heart a red glow. Similarly, the red illuminated button shines up at the tissue paper heart on the remote to the left, bathing the layered pedals in red light.

Monitoring you camera system will allow you to see your industrial processing from a new point of view. One that allows you to see all that is going on. This new point of view can allow you to see what your team is doing right, and where there is room to improve. That means that you can refine your industrial processing process in order to increase your profit and efficiency.

If you're looking to smooth out letters on an LED scroller sign, the next obvious choice beyond paper is woven fabric. In the messenger bag display project pictured, I used solid white ripstop nylon to diffuse a large flexible NeoPixel display right up against the surface of the LEDs.

The color changing scarf has an interior string of pixels diffused by a heavily gathered machine-knit panel. The folds of the gathered knit material were supposed to give a floral garland effect, but I think this thin grey yarn choice fell short of its goal.

By watching the cameras live, you can stop safety concerns as they happen. That means that your concerns will be misses or near misses instead of accidents.

Occasionally there is issues with products from any company. These issues can result in a loss of profit and a loss of reputation. By implementing monitoring and recording you get two quality control benefits. The first is the ability to monitor for anything that might result in poor quality products. That allows you to stop the product’s construction right then and there.

Small mason jars often have an interesting texture, and can make a great base for a few different diffusion effects. Pictured is a simple 3D printed lid holding a single LED. Try filling the jar with translucent beads, or lining it with a simple piece of printer paper to pick up the glow. You can also paint the jar, inside or out. Learn more in my Instructable about making LED Mason Jar Lanterns.

The simplest form of this technique can also achieve a great result, and that's just to line the walls of the box with a single LED strip. Make the inside of the box white so the light can bounce around, and create a cutout face with the design of your choice. Learn more in my Instructable about this 2017 sign.

You can layer fabrics for a wide variety of diffusion effects. This Sparkle Skirt project uses a laser-cut microsuede skirt as its base, and has the LED circuit sewn into the lining. When the LEDs light up, light bounces off the back of the overlay and the lining, creating a sophisticated backlight effect.

Woven fabrics aren't stretchy, so they're easier to sew and keep flat. If you go shopping for fabric in person, bring a flashlight or use your phone's flashlight to test how different fabrics transmit light. Some, upon illumination, will show off an interior texture that you couldn't see from the surface. If you're shopping online, look for lightweight synthetic woven fabrics as a starting point. Faux flowers are also made of woven fabric.

Security camera installation for a large facility or property like that of an industrial processing facility is a large task. Having a company like Precision Security Australia to help you install the camera system, you won’t have to worry about the setup being perfect. You will have experts installing the cameras and providing any maintenance you might need. Contact Precision Security Australia today to get the support of the best security camera company in the Melbourne area.

Second, you can use security cameras to capture the process of processing so that you know exactly where the quality control issue is. So if a faulty product is found, you can find exactly where it is.

There have been so many 3D printed LED diffusers in my life over the years, it seems unfair to group them into one idea, but dems the rules. Flexible white filament is my go-to, with a few notable exceptions like the LED coat buttons pictured (files).

In my WiFi Weather Display project, for example, I broke the shadow box up into sections with a folded piece of corrugated cardboard. Then I taped some pixel strips to the back, shining into each triangle shape. In the Arduino code I control the color of each section of the pixel strand to create abstract weather patterns. Notice how the "snowy" status has some blue and some white LEDs, as compared to "rainy" with only blue.

Also underutilized in the maker scene, in my opinion, is thermoplastic for diffusing LEDs. This stuff comes in little beads you soak in hot water to make a pliable dough. It's not that easy to get precise shapes with it by hand, but I bet you could press it into little molds pretty easily. Anyway it looks great over powerful LEDs but the more that's on there, the less light will get through, since it's pretty opaque once it sets up.

I learned this tip from my pal Phil Burgess, who showed me this technique with his Cyber Falls Wig project. The crinoline tubing fits great over LED strip that's still inside its silicone sheathing, and catches the light with its cross-woven synthetic fibers. I used this idea in the Colorful LED Headpiece project pictured.

I've heard that some safety trolls will say ping pong balls are flammable. So are many things on this list! Common LEDs and pixels will not get hot enough to light anything on fire, not even dryer lint. So ping pong naysayers, don't even start with me! =D

In the event that there is a security concern such as a break-in, it will all be captured on camera. That means that you will have video of any suspects. Footage that can be sent to law enforcement, so they know exactly who they are looking for. Then, after the individual(s) have been caught, they can use the camera footage in order to prosecute the criminals. Even the best criminals cannot deny they are guilty if it is caught on camera.

Security cameras aren’t all about recording or monitoring crime and safety. They also are used to deter crime. With cameras in place, criminals will know that your facility is protected. A criminal is more than likely to move on to try and find a property that isn’t protected. That makes it easier for them to make money and reduces risk for them.

Security and safety are a concern around the world. Many companies feel the need to have both monitoring cameras and security cameras. One of the businesses that have the need for these cameras is the industrial processing industry. Today we are going to take a look at the advantages of security cameras and monitoring cameras for industrial processing centers.

Laser-cut acrylic affords a few diffusion opportunities, including edge-lighting, etching, and coloring in the etching with a marker. The photos here are from my Iron Man Arc Reactor project.

First, you should know that almost all modern security cameras double as monitoring cameras. But with an added benefit. You can now monitor these cameras from anywhere that you have connection to the internet from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. They also record everything that goes on whether it is a crime or regular work day.

Different glues have different light transmission properties, and it's worthwhile to explore what magic you can make with the adhesives you already have access to. For this demonstration, I tried out hot glue, E6000, Lexel clear adhesive caulk, and a common household glue stick. You can build up multiple layers, or try whipping up the glues as they dry to create texture and tiny air bubbles. I was surprised to find that the tiny glob of hot glue on just the 5050 pixel package itself was durable and not easy to peel off. It gives a wide angle pleasant lens effect and might be my favorite result out of the whole testing process.

Knit fabric is stretchy! Sweaters are knit, so are t-shirts. Knits can be tough to work with, but are great for diffusing LEDs! Like in the case of the pictured off-white fluffy cable-knit sweater: it diffuses the 8x8 NeoPixel matrix with an added texture that couldn't be imparted any other way. It's probably too thick to read numbers/letters through it, but the soft edges it gives the snowflakes are very festive.

We'll start out with an easy one: just start out with a box, either homemade or an easily found shadow box frame, for example, and line the inside with plain printer paper.

This is a list of my favorite LED diffusion ideas, which I hope will provide you with some sparks of inspiration for creating your own next-level illumination. Examples and links are provided for each!

One of the biggest reasons to have a security camera system set up in your property is to monitor it for safety. In an industrial processing facility, it is incredibly important to be safe. There is a lot of equipment and processes that must go perfectly in order to operate safely. With your security camera system, you can use them to look for any issues that might lead to a safety concern.

Any workplace suffers from internal theft. Having a camera system in place will help to keep your industrial processing materials secure, a camera system will monitor and record internal theft. Just their presence will also reduce the chance that an employee will want to steel. For a lot of companies, this can be a big money saver. Around the industrial world, internal theft is a big loss of revenue.
