switchblock lighting

[david dubbo]

Thought I would share this with you guys and gals it is mainly aimed at those you have changed the lighting in there switch blocks to LEDs.
I used 5 mm blue LEDs to change the colour of the switchblocks but wasnt happy with the results as some buttons where barely illuminated as the LEDs dont spread light real well so I pulled the switchblock apart and using doublesided tape a piece of allfoil (very flat) and a plastic spatchaler, lined the lighting channels, trimmed off the extra and the result is quiet staggering. although not quite even it is about 10 times better and all buttons are easily to see.
