A comment on We Ruined Status LEDs; Here’s Why That Needs to Change.
1/ kapton tape ( the orange/yellow semi transparent tape you find on battery packs and cable assemblies).
This not only reduces the light level, it can make it more green. Multiple layers for very bright leds.
2/ black vinyl wrap for LEDs that have no useful purpose.
3/ replacement LEDs and resistors for non SMD stuff that it is cheap enough to hack.
