I need to get the light from 2 LEDs into a small 1 LED opening



A possible idea is a system which will be V shaped clear plastic.



I don't really know what i'm looking for or where to look for it. I've never seen LED light guides before. Maybe someone knows what i need here? Maybe someone has seen a different system which could be adapted? Anyone help?

if you buy acrylic rod in the same diameter as a led, you can use that. acrylic rod works VERY well as a fiber optic type thing. you can use heat to shape it however you want then like drill indents in the side of the tube for the leds....

whatcha got planned?

thing is, i need more then that. I want to have multiple LEDs in the space of 1 LED. It is for my next DLED project. I want level 3 to be brighter then levels 1 or 2. Thing is, level 3 is on for aproximately 1/3rd the time that level 1 is. I can counter that by making level 3 the brightest.
