Maybe experimenting with a lens type system to spread the light further...
I am thinking a 'frosted' glass approach with a FEW HIGHER power outputs.
Just think of finding a glowing pingpong ball, I suspect while the light
output is much lower, its a LARGER size, with no gaps in the output, even
when its moving.
