LightPainting LED Glowstick by RyusLightworks

This is a LightPainting tool that replaces chemical glow sticks when doing outlines or ghost silhouettes.
LightPainting is a form of photography in which a camera is set to long exposure and some elements are "painted" with light into a scene (or sometimes in pitch black).
The first Image shows a quick example done with this tool. (I have to admit it is not one of the best, but it shows the principal, google LightPainting and glow sticks if you want more examples).
On the second image you can see the assembled tool. I still have to paint the handle green.
I have included three versions of the diffuser. The normal one should work well with regular 5mm LEDs. The thin one is meant to be used for dim LEDs (red are sometimes a lot dimmer then other colors). The one with inner guides is meant to be used with LEDs that have a small light cone (the have a concave head), it takes a bit of the centered light cone and guides it to the wall to get an even illumination. You could also use the ones with guides to get a slightly uneven illumination with normal LEDs if you want that effect.
