  Not for use with the panel.

  I had designed my viewer with a removable
light box so that it could operate in steal
the light mode outdoors or on top of my big
light box or when the batteries go dead :)

  So a diffuser is still needed for the
outdoor use.

  I installed a weak diffuser (frosted drafting
mylar) on the weekend but got odd shadows from
the two right angle brackets I used to attach the
LP. So I pulled it out and will see if I can live
without the steal the light mode.

  BTW I have put up some photos and info on my web
page:

  Check it out. It's cool (IMO).
