got a link for the led sidelight strips?

I checked eBay and they weren't relisted, but they're 4MM strip LEDs. I got .177 acrylic, so 4mm fit perfect. If you went with .25, you'd be looking for 6mm LEDs.

I bought 2x 90cm strips in one auction for only $10.99 - 18x18 panel has 72" of border to light - 182CM. the 2 90CM sections worked perfect.
Similar product: (though this is only 50cm)

Then I got 3/4" x 1/8" thick foam tape. I built my frame so that it would be lined with foam tape and fit snug while providing some light weatherproofing and you won't see screw holes (or have to unscrew it to service if needed).

It all fits together perfectly - yay planning.
blue is the acrylic, red is the foam, and yellow is the led strip.
