    Here's some pics of my setup

    I did a pic with and without the LEDs on at the exact same apperture and shutterspeed so you can see the difference under the same conditions.

    I also took a pic from below to show you how I set it up. The proffesional lenses are Carclo as I mentioned above, those I had to camuflage with biig bulky silicone pads covered with background material.

    The others I made myself by pressing aluminum foil over a pointy thing and applying silicone to the back, while it was still wet I spplied cut up background material. THis was actually the best sollution since you can make the lenses as you want and cut back anything not needed

    The LEDs mounted on heatsinks are the 3W Seoul P4. The others are just mounted on some metal that is pushed in to the background - acting like a heatsink aswell.
