LED Diffuser Rings / aka Halo Rings

[DavidBanner]

Anyone know where to get those Led diffuser rings (like the ones on the Allen & Heath xzone:3d)??

for anyone who is confused - they are the plastic rings that surround buttons and pots that the leds go under - they look all sexy and glowey but are a bitch to find... it;s the same sort of thing you find around the power button on an x-box

Easy. Go to your local giant hardware store and buy translucent plastic washers. Look! Diffuser rings!

Hey Drin,

Yup - that's my backup plan, but they are like kissing your sister compared with the ones ones people like Allen & Heath use (frosted with lovely domes).

Could you get clear plastic washers? I've seen black rubber washer things that look just like those... Kids in school used to wear them like rings...

Note, I mean pipe washers, not nut&bolt washers...

Hi stryd,

> I've seen black rubber washer things that look just like those

yes I know the ones you mean, oh man, how cool would it be to get those in clear! But I've never seen 'em either.

I'm sure I've seen the usual flat type in clear plastic.....

OK I know you can find them in the base of air regulators in paintball guns and sex toys ;)

I think it's just a matter of visiting hardware/plumbing/fish/automotive etc stores and looking around.
