Dimming extremely bright and annoying LEDs

Sharpie!!!!

Red, Blue, or Black the most common. You can control the darkness (brightness to the LED)through layers of coating, not to mention that you can combine colors to create what you want. What about removing them later you say? For a glass or plastic surface(LED,etc),use ISP(isoprophyl alcohol) on a soft cloth or cotton ball. For paper like material...you're on your own. It is definitely permanent on paper products!!!!

hope this helps

Sean, LED burning out? The unit will probably die before the LED burn out.

Arcam: You sound like my business partner. He keeps preaching the same "LED's last forever" or "LED's never burn out", yet i keep replacing them or seeing them burned out on units coming in on a daily basis. While i know that newer technology LED's are lasting a LONG time, some do fail. This is besides the fact that some engineers don't know what they are doing and the LED's aren't being fed power in the most optimum manner. Sometimes it's not the parts' fault that it failed, but that of the engineer that doesn't know how to design proper support circuitry. Sean

The 'Sharpie' marker is best.
I have used a black marker and just put a "dot" in the visible center of the offending LED. It dramatically cuts the glare, yet allows one to see that it is still on.
If the dot does not quit do it, just make the dot a bit bigger.
A Q-tip with any solvent will wipe the dot right off.
Going inside any equipment is a bad idea if you still have a warranty.

Sorry Sean, I did not elaborate. I mean if used properly in a circuit it will last decades.
