Since you’re asking for feedback I really looked at them for a while and there was only one idea I could think of.
On the ufo it might be cool if the light beam that was coming down had vertical banding on it. I was thinking maybe if the cone had strips running up the inside that were thicker plastic it would break up the light in an interesting way.
Not sure if that makes sense, but kind of like how “god rays” have shafts of light when the sun is coming through the clouds just right.
It looks cool as is, I was just searching for something as you asked.
i agree with you both.
In pictures its really hard to see, but there’s a spiral going all the way down the beam and i have put a paper cone inside to add a “milky” effect in the center of the beam…
Altought in the pictures it doesnt show, (its always soooo hard to take bright light in pictures) in real life the effect is pretty neat!
i’ll try your idea. I’ll remove the paper inside, try to add a second (smaller, thicker) tube in the middle to give a “center beam effect”. And see if i can do something wih a litho!!! Think it will be great and hilarious! Thank you again guys!
Took me 4 tries to get something nice. Happy with this one.
The first one was a white lithophane (cone shaped) inside the yellow one… Didnt worked at all…
Second one was the same thing but with a bigger inner cone… was barely able to see the image…
The third one was a single lithophane, no outer cone, with the image embossed outside. Nice, but didnt like the effect when not in use…
The last one is a cone lithophane again, but with the image in the inside instead. When the light is off, it appears as a simple yellow cone… But when its on, beamed people appear magically!
I still have a paper cone inside, to miminize the bright points the led string is making here and there.
I also love the blurry effect of the beam… lol.
