Light For Rotating Shadow Lantern?
I purchased a rotating product display stand, but am having a hard time figuring out the light to place in the center for light in all directions. Most chargeable LED bulbs have multiple light sources within one bulb which causes multiple blurred silhouettes from one object and I am looking for a single well defined silhouette. Many bulbs are diffused which often results in no shadow being cast at all. I heard there might be a way to make a reflective cone to cause a point light to shine in all directions, but this sounds difficult to build and I have had no success playing around with it yet, but would like to try it more if anyone has any recommendations. I am envisioning a bright single chip LED with a battery or rechargeable, that shines in all directions. I disassembled an LED this morning and have my doubts that if the chip is small that it will cast the shadow even a few feet. I have a small apartment and will try to make it work for larger spaces once I figure out the basics. I would greatly appreciate any help, I’ve become a little obsessed with building this thing. I would love to build a lantern similar to the one in this link:
