That's a new one...I think I've tried everything and a number of different
materials.

I have some matte finish (and frosted) in the shop.

Are you saying just shoot the light right into the edge?

Maybe 1/4" material would be best in that case?

Sounds interesting. At 1/4" I could actually drill a hole into the edge for
the LED to fit in ?

Been looking at the luxeon stuff as well, just for interest.
I think if you need to light an edge lit *** you need to use the
batwing config., which shoot out of the side, parallel to the PCB
plain, not the lambertian types. But it seems that you will loose
photons, that point to the nearest edge. ( I could be wrong!)

I find the Luxeon site quite confusing, very difficult to choose a
type
