FWIW - I just put LEDs in a T2X controller internally lit meter - with
diffused LEDS - don't like it very well.Played a lot with current and
sanding them more etc.
I see that All Electronics . www.allelectronics.com
has a LP-23 catalog number 14 volt 40 ma 3 for $1 T1 3mm with wire leads
.(a bunch of other variations as well like 28v at 40 ma etc etc .)
