P150 front LEDs

Post by gt845i4u » Tue Mar 14, 2006 2:38 am

As one of the pround owners of the P150, I have to say that the LEDs are way too bright. Is there anyway to make them dimmer?

high tec, resistors
low tec, sharpie.
The light comes through the plastic, color the inside of the plastic, or the LED its self for effect. Alternatively, you could use a very small piece of a thin Mylar bag right over the LED hole.

Or a bit of crumpled clear tape inserted into the plastic "socket" in front of the LED. Works great for me and easily reversible.
