A couple things I learned from building these: First, the $8 LED strips are no good. They just don't put out enough light. Buy a triple-wide strip with a CRI rating over 90 or so. About $25 on Amazon. Second, make sure the LEDs aren't too close to the diffuser, otherwise you'll be able to see the individual diodes. Third, you can get good, free diffusion from a broken LED TV (as was illustrated in a previous NFS post.) It's pretty easy, just grab a small screw driver and take out all 5,000 screws. Just make sure the TV has been unplugged a while so you don't get zapped. Having disassembled about 5 TVs and building a few lights, I would suggest just getting the $100 RGB LED light on Amazon. It is not that expensive, it can run on battery or AC, and while it's not pro level, it isn't hokey.

Ooh, is this scheduled for wide release? It looks like it's out but nowhere near me.

Will this only work with LCD or with any flat screen? It seems like all of the guts are removed so maybe even an old plasma?
