I very recently had a less than satisfactory situation with attempting to use some plastic, light diffusing material to (hopefully) spread the illumination of my Puck Light (litho backlighting). I will get that worked out, but am highly interested in learning about the usage of LED Strip Lights.

I have searched the Internet, and was able to find quite a bit of info on them - but nothing, really, regarding HOW to install for lithophanes. I could be wrong, but seem to think that they are not given for being used with stand-alone, flat litho panels. So, if their advantage would be within using them inside of an enclosure, what would be the best way to do that? Would they be stripped along the back, side, bottom - or directly on the reverse side of the litho, itself? How many of the lights should be used to give nice illumination to, say, a box housing an 8"x10" litho?

Answers to those questions (and any other info that you would like to share) would be most deeply appreciated.

Advanced thanks.

Blessings,
Nathan
