I love my Rosewill RK-9000, but damn that blue LED is blindigly bright!
I have an almost identical Filco at work (under bright fluorescents) and never noticed this. However, my Rosewill in my home lighting is like a laser staring me down.

Is it easy to replace with a dimmer LED?
any have info on changing a Filco/Rosewill LED to a lower power or diff color?

my temporary solution:

I know what you mean, have you tried not staring into its welcoming blue glow?

I'd guinea pig this, but I don't have a soldiering iron or a multimeter right now. Also don't feel like voiding the warranty, yet. The dimmer LEDs will most likely require a resistor to account for the change in voltage. Then again I'm not an electrical engineer.
