I bought marble tiles for my bathroom. The tiles are semitransparent
and look very nice when I shine a light is from behind the tiles.

I'd like to put an even light source behind the tiles. There is not
much space - half an inch maybe. I tried using leds but I don't look
good (even). Plexiglass or acrylic could also work but has anybody
any tips how to do it?

The only light source I can think of that's thin enough to fit in your
half-inch space are electroluminescent (EL) panels. Problem is, the only
color I know of that they come in is an ugly green.

Wonder if a piece of clear plastic could be used as a "light pipe", with
the light source below or to the side?
