A bit strange, this but perhaps someone has an idea or two.

I've just installed a rackmount KVM at home. Very nice, far better than
the old Belkin one.

It has a green power indicator LED on the front panel which is FAR too
bright! The rack almost faces my desk, and it's dazzling.

I could just stick insulation tape over it but I'd rather just dim it
down a bit. I don't want to open the thing up, so any ideas? Semi opaque
tape perhaps (suggestions?)

It makes a good nightlight for my grandson, apart from the flicker.

Do the LEDs shine through the plastic like my switch, or to they poke
through holes.

If the former then take it apart and put a layer or two of paper
between the case and the PCB.
