I'm leaning towards an open air design, using just a lens, beam splitter, and diffuser for the led. I may try to incorporate a polarizer or two to take care of shallow angle light. A blocking hood over the side and top of the optics might help also. I would use rails for focusing. I haven't found the exact lens yet, so I'm not sure about FOV, but something akin to Don Papp's B design lens, size of a 8.5x11 sheet of paper landscape orientation at around 4.5 feet. I don't know what degree FOV this would equate to. I could use a backlight, but I'm probably going to look for the smallest smc led I can find out there.
