Unicorn Diffuser Kit

by Pimoroni

Shield your eyes from your Space Unicorn's dazzling rays (whilst adding some lovely bokeh) with this handy acrylic diffuser.

The LEDs on Galactic/Stellar/Cosmic Unicorn have their own built in diffusion but they can still be A Lot to look at if you've got one permanently displayed on your desk, on your wall or installed as part of your essential office infrastructure.

Adding a translucent diffuser layer makes the LED 'pixels' big and fluffy and a lot easier on the eye. This kit also includes black metal standoffs, nuts and bolts to hold the diffuser layer in place securely.

This kit is for the diffuser only - Unicorns are sold separately! 🦄

Stellar/Cosmic Kit Includes

  • Laser cut acrylic diffuser
  • 4x M2 x 12mm screws
  • >4x M2 x 4mm standoffs
  • 4x M2 nuts

Galactic Kit Includes

  • Laser cut acrylic diffuser
  • 8x M2 x 12mm screws
  • 8x M2 x 4mm standoffs
  • 8x M2 nuts

Getting Started

  • Poke the screws through the holes in the diffuser, and then screw the standoffs onto the other side of the acrylic. Don't tighten them too much as you could crack the acrylic - just finger tight is fine.
  • Once you've attached all of the standoffs to the acrylic layer, you can then poke the ends of screws through the mounting holes in your Unicorn board. The standoffs will ensure a couple of mm gap between the acrylic and the LEDs which will make the diffusion magic happen.
  • Secure everything in place by adding the nuts to the back of the board.

Works as advertised. Makes the whole display softer, which is a lot nicer to the eye.

This diffuser turned the Galactic Unicorn from a kit to a finished display - definitely worth buying.

Necessity for the Unicorn as far as I'm concerned, it's a beautiful device without it, but this helps with the eye searing glow of 100% brightness and gives the LED a great effect through it. Very easy to fit, did have add a little weight to a foot on the unicorn to stop it standing completely up off them.

Pretty essential addition to the unicorn - stops it being so eye-meltingly bright, and makes a lovely effect.

I didn't like the effect of the diffuser for my use case. The unicorn's LED's are already diffused. Maybe better for longer distance viewing.
