So after watching:

Where BRS investigates the Philips Coral Care LED light.
They came across with a significant breakthrough with how Philips implemented a diffuser for the LED's to blend the LED's together.
Basically they put a frosted glass plate on the bottom to diffuse the LED's and blend them for almost perfect uniformity. Something no other manufacturer has done.
They came away from the test pretty blown away by this, and said they're positive other manufacturers in the future are going to copy it.
I'm thinking of attempting something on my new 420 gallon build with the G4 Pro's I'll be using.
Basically have a piece of tempered starphire glass frosted and acting as a diffuser for these lights.
Make a mounting bracket which will have the G4's standing off of the glass on architectural standoffs, and then that pane of tempered glass would would be suspended at whatever height I choose.
I own a signshop and have various frostings including colored frostings available to try, including some with different opacity's.
I would be able to make it look pretty gorgeous.
Of course the lighting itself would have safety hookups incase the glass broke, however I would make sure the pane was a sufficient thickness. Plus we hold so much water on a glass pane, I'm not really concerned about the weight of some lights.
3 Radion G4 Pro's diffused to provide better uniformity.
The only issue I forsee is the Philips uses a substantial array of LED's in a large area, whereas the Radions or others use pucks. This could be fixed by simply raising the Radions higher up from the glass.
What are you thoughts, suggestions.
Thanks.
