I do have some lighting gels, and I haven't touched them yet. (I was just looking at them yesterday.) I will have to take a look, but the ones I have are pretty clear, so they won't diffuse the light very much.

I saw that same video about the cotton balls and the castle. The first thing I thought was if there was a short, then there would be a fire. Then I thought about it.

Low voltages don't spark much. So if you are using say 3V to light your LEDS, then you won't have a worry. But at 12V and a wall wort, then it might be an issue.

The heat from a few LED's won't light a fire. Just won't, a CCFL, doesn't generate that much heat either. Sure there is enough to melt plastic, or warp it, but not cause a fire.

Tom answered the side firing fiber question for me!

When I get to the Falcon, I will have a piece of milk jug to show you how it works.
