Anybody tried applying a dab of hot glue over the led part? Or maybe mixing a drop of white acrylic with 2 part epoxy and put a blob of that on top?

Quoted from FatPanda:That sounds like a good idea. I'm going to have to try this also.
I tried this . Not sure if it will.difuse the brightness but will definately change the color.

Good question. I wish I knew where to buy less bright LED flashers. One good reason for switching might be if a transistor locks on, a LED probably wont melt a hole through a insert. But I think maybe the point of the thread is if the LED flashers were made with domes like 555 's , they would be perfect .
Quoted from JayDee:I’ll probably get some eye rolls for my fix but I can assure you it works fantastic and is about as easy as it comes. I cut a strip of printer paper and doubled the thickness and then scotch taped it under the insert. It cuts the brightness down but doesn’t affect the color. Only takes a couple minutes and completely reversible.[quoted image][quoted image]
Good idea
