It is looking like I might need to make all 30 spheres which is going to be a much much larger investment then I planned on, so I might end up needing to take payments in advance afterall although I would prefer not to.
I will see what the grand total works out to in a week or so after people have more time to sign up.
Might also need to see if I can find another sheet of this diffusing film if this keeps up.
This is what I was considering until I found these diffusing sheets. They seem to work better then the DC fix plus they fit in the PVC without a separate piece of glass.
It doesn’t matter how low lumens the pipe can measure. You can just measure a middle or high mode in the tube and calculate the low mode lumens from the lux ratio in a smaller box or even measuring straight from the hotspot. Of course it’s not as straightforward as looking at the number on the lux meter.
