This paper describes the construction and use of a color light mixer that uses different color LEDs. The idea was partly inspired by two papers.1,2 The first one describes how a standard LED can be converted into a point-light source, and the second one explains how a Ping-Pong ball can be used to mix polarized color light from two lasers.
