Here's a new tip to diffuse TOTAN's skill shot lamp, or in my case, the installed LED:
To cure the never-ending problem of lamp/LED too bright, in this example, I used a blue frosted LED
Then to further diffuse the LED, I cut a ping-pong ball in half and covered the LED with it. I also cut a small rectangular opening in the back so the ping-pong ball fits over the 555 socket.
