Caroline,

In my previous post I mentioned UV leds and you will be looking for Blue
leds. Sorry. LED Supply, Inc also has a range of emission wavelengths so
you can choose - they do have some at 470nm and 15/30/45 degree patterns.

  I have found that the illumination from leds can be structured, and
find that passing it through one layer of a translucent (the hazy white
ones..) shopping bag plastic does a nice job of scrambling the structure
of the emission pattern without much attenuation.
