/diy/ - Do It Yourself

somewhat related to /ohm/

I need to make 5 of these stands that are basically small paper towel holders, but the center column needs to radiate a consistent column of light (versus the strongest point of light being just at the bottom for a flat base)

My closest idea would be to 3d print the stand with a hollow base, and just glue on a basic led strip kit that comes with the power supply. Anybody have a smarter idea? unless 6" tall led bulbs exist this seems like the easiest route
