Did you ever get an answer? I am looking to do the same thing, de-focusing the light of colored laser pointers to illuminate a piece of crystalware from a small distance inside a glass showcase, and achieve a Red, White and Blue effect on it...
If you found an answer, can you share it please? Thanks, Michael Buet

If you remove the collimator lens from a laser, it will behave as a coherent light flashlight.
edit:
depending on laser power / diode cavity type, it may have one "stripe" of light, or multiple "stripes".
You should never post on threads that old... introduce yourself in the welcome thread. And enjoy lpf

You want LEDs. Lasers are not appropriate for this.
