good morning
thank you, is there anything that I can improve on ( the lightsphere i mean ) ...

and one thing, when i was taking the photos withe the LS on, i take a peek look,at the LS, I was almost blinded by the light when i put 4 pcs of papers , ahahhaha
 

Your design similar to mine but i find that 2 pieces of tracing paper down the front enough for me laio. You can also try making a small clynder of tracing paper to out inside the container to diffuse the light coming out form the sides.

Looks good! haha but I think the primary difference between this and the original LS is that the LS has a corrugated interior.... ie. the inside surface is like ^^^^^^^

I think this helps to catch more light and help diffuse it.... maybe can try and somehow incorporate it into your tauhuay-sphere
 

My tracing paper is stuck on using double sided tape on the edges :D I think you cna see the clynder idea in the middle of it..
