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.


OK,

I got radical. I fashioned a strip made from a old ruler, painted it to match the meters' trim, mounted two # 47 sockets on its underside and attached it just at the bottom FRONT of the meters using spacers and velcro fasteners. Now the meters are front lighted like in the old days (Millen used to make such meter front panel brackets for this very purpose). The lamps are powered externally by a small transformer. Sweet comfort. No dreading the day when lamps need replacing.
