I started to play with Rogue5 last month. It has blue LEDs on the side. At first, the lights are too bright to me even blue needs only 3 batteries. Then I got rid of one of them, so LED runs on 18V. Because it's still bright, I tried 9V, but they didn't lit at all. So, I put black small dots on each LED. Lights can actually penetrate the paper seals and finally the brightness got appropriate level. I would like LED run with single battery, if it's possible. How can I do for? | ||

I don't know about using fewer batteries, but I had a similar experience in that when I first took delivery on my custom Further, "Woody", I found the side LEDs to be too bright for me. Alembic quickly installed a dimmer switch for me. Since I tend to find one setting I like and leave it there, we put the dimmer switch in the control cavity so I didn't need to have another hole drilled in the top. It works great. Bill, tgo | ||

Yes the blue LED's are quite bright. You can do as Bill suggested or if you are handy with a soldering iron you can increase the size of the resistor that is in series with the LED's. Try doubling them then tripling, etc until you find a brightness you like. Keith | ||

Thanks Bill, thanks Keith, Actually, what in my head is reducing some weight but I will try increasing resistor value fast. Shinichiro | ||
