The LED's are too bright. What are my options to make them softer?

The gel sheets just dim them, and aren't permanent. Some owners have frosted the inside with paint.

There must be some way to diffuse (soften) the light. What is the spacing like between the cover and the led array? Anyone?

Someone suggested sand blasting the inside of the lens to hays it out, I thought that was interesting and I might try that at some point.
