Light source behind marble tiles

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?
I think leds are your best bet but you'll need some kind of
diffuser(s) to create an even light source -- a translucent
sheet of perspex/acrylic?
Keep in mind that some leds will eventually fail. Replacement
will likely be very tricky. I'm not sure I'd bother without
access to perform the maintenance that WILL be necessary
soon or later.
