I have access to a laser cutter which would be alot easier and faster to make an etching... would if obtain a good effect for LED lighting in the plexi?

I think Crimson Sky used a laser-etched window in Project Mars city (Doom 3) with great LED effects.
I don't know if you can use a laser cutter to etch, but someone else around here will.

Yes, a laser engraver should work to etch acrylic. The only catch is make sure it is actually acrylic, not polycarbonate, PET, etc. Commonly people call any clear plastic "plexiglass" when really plexiglass is a brand name of acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate).
Hi Mattman, check out this thread for another possibility.
