More LEDs!

So I am still trying to figure out how to the heck to make this thing look good. So I am now thinking that if I get a typical cylindrical LED instead of these high flux square ones, I might be able to just drill holes and slide the LEDs through the back of the foam insert. I think this might work the best....

So I bought various LEDs from superbrightleds.com and have been seeing which one is the brightest. I got a couple different ones:

Viewing Angle
360                     8mm          (RL8-R25-360)
120                     1200mcd    (RL5-R12120)
45                       3500mcd    (RL5-R3545)
30                       8000mcd    (RL5-R8030)

I am really interested in how the viewing angle affects the brightness.

The order from top to bottom (360, 120, 45, 30).

Same order, farther away. Like all my junk? lol.

These images do not look like the LEDs look in real life.... I think the 45 degree LED looks the brightest, well perceived brightness.

I replaced the 120 degree LEDs with the square high flux LEDs. I think the 45 degree LEDs look the best out of the bunch. Time to buy more LEDs!
