Dimming led's my way...

I just epoxy a translucent agate or quartz chip over it.

Thin duct tape.

The aesthetic crudity of a blinding LED deserves nothing less. Or more.

I blame technology. I have some ancient LED's. @10ma they are barely visible. The same T1-1/4 today that I get could blind you at 10ma. I run them at 2,

I blame the guy who picked the resistor.

I blame the guy who picked the resistor.

I blame the guy who programmed the PWM value on the "LED" signal, from one of the GPO bits...

By the time that one in the modi is ancient I'll be dead.

i painted the front of one with silver paint before I installed it. I have done everything from mechanical to electrical to dim these. A resistor would be easiest if you knew the value beforehand. Or maybe a trim pot. That is what My Manley amp has.

I was referring to how LED's have gotten way more efficient over time. My old LED's are just in a bin, not dimmed by usage. Cree really up'ed everyone's game years ago. Opto-electronics have come a long way like chips since the 70's.
