Default Dimming an LED without wiring changes

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?)


If you have a sign maker nearby, and offcut of black perspex? Depending on
thickness it will let some light through.
