jh,
Not a bad idea at all. I’d only be concerned of strength, but you could actually wrap something in foil too. Using foil on the inside curve would be great for distributing the light also.
Will try this next time!

Building in bulk saved a lot of time… I think I built the final 8 large streetlights in around 30minutes after knowing the exact plan… the prototyping is always the longest part.

Heh, yes I could have… but that does take all the fun out of it.
Also, that seems to be the bulk Chinese seller… I’ve bought trees from them before and the quality was very ‘mass-production’ low.
