Moved a linear power supply, it’s now in a position where it can be seen, bugger the red LED’s are so bright.
I knew that you can get small filters off eBay etc. but I was listening to music and it was unbearable.
Had a scout around to find an immediate solution.
Found some lead in and out of processed 35mm film that was very dark, cut a piece to shape, fitted over LED’s....half as bright....job done.
Now I know we are in the digital age and a memory card might not work........

my DCB1 has a blue LED so bright it could be appointed Professor of Brightness at Oxford University.
I stuck a bit of duct tape over it but even with that it is still so bright it will dazzle you if you look right at it in low lighting conditions.
Anyway never seen a brighter one than that anywhere. Never seen a red one be really bright, that must be a new thing.
They should really introduce some sort of international treaty to stop production of blue LEDs. Like they did with land mines. Wrong priorities there, blue LEDs much worse problem.

For me it was sticking a small piece of black electrical tape over the LED, problem solved
