I use 3mm 5000 mcd super bright, and then I sand (shave) the end of the led it creates a even light. I dont have any shaved in the pics but it shows how bad the hotspots are unless shaved.

Oh I see what you mean. Did you have to solder those? If so I guess I wont be able to do it... What about led bulb?
