Unfortunately, I still can't quite get there with the definitive answers yet myself.

I'm wanting to do something similar with a box with 4 lots of 4 white LED's but I can't quite make it work yet.

But I *can suggest if you're looking for a diffuser, Lee makes a very good white diffusion (216) that is much less prone to hot spotting than other things I've seen.

Intensity of LED is proportional to current.
I am not sure why you need to consider lin/log response...

Controlled current source is all you really need for the purpose.



BTW... for flats a clear blue sky is quite OK.
