And if the surface allows light to pass, you are going to see the illumination from the Light TapeВ®. That means that there is light underneath every square inch of that surface. We manufacture the Light Tape to the same size and shape as the surface you are going to illuminate. It is perfect for any application where the surface is translucent to transparent like glass. Light TapeВ® is the most even light source available today, the entire surface is covered with phosphors and illuminates evenly. As you move the light away from the back six inches or so, does the light become fainter and you can barely see the defined dot, let alone a growing halo? Then that means to illuminate that surface, then you must create that level of light across your entire surface, basically 1000 little light dots, which is difficult. On the other hand, if you just see an illuminated dot with very little halo, that is not a good sign that the surface is very translucent. Of course, if you can see the entire phone through the surface, then you donвЂ™t need to test, it is almost transparent. This indicates the surface will вЂcarryвЂ™ the light and will produce a fantastic glow. As you move your phone away from the back of the surface, the halo should get bigger with more of the surface illuminating. If you see a dot with a slight halo of light around it, like the planet Saturn, then that is a good indication the surface is translucent.

Start by placing the light directly on the back of the surface. The easiest and quickest way is to just take your phone flashlight and put it behind the material you want to illuminate.
