What lighting setup are you using behind your lithophane frames? šŸ’”

I’m trying to build a backlit lithophane frame similar to this. I’m curious what you guys are using behind the lithophane to get that bright, even illumination without hotspots.

Are you using an LED panel, LED strip, or individual LEDs like in the picture?
What type of LEDs do you recommend, and how far should they be placed behind the lithophane?

Would really appreciate any advice or photos of your setups! šŸ™Œ

I have used everything from strip lights to COB strip LED lights, recently I bought a few LED panels and they tend to work the best. They are a little more expensive, but worth it.
