Plastic encased LED's?
OK so I figure that you guys would know this. I was wondering if there is some sort of plastic resin or epoxy to encase LED's such that when you light up the LED, the whole resin piece lights up with it.

What specific application are you using it for?

Take a dremel and make little cuts into a solid plastic tube, between 1/3 and 1/2 of the way down. The light will refract off those, and illuminate the tube, but it wont be one solid color, there will be a bunch of bright spots.

This should help, if you do use it commercially please give us some credit. It has the requirements and specs to make a full blown encased LED light system. Thanks.
