Lighting orange buttons...

Can someone post pics of regular red buttons being lit?

And, are people lighting these buttons with a single LED facing up, or two horizontal LEDs like what Knievel did in the Neon MAME?

Only 4000mcd?  Hmm... I thought they would've been brighter than that.... was at a local electronics shop recently and tried shining a 10,000 mcd LED into the bottom of a red button while I was there and wasn't terribly impressed with the results.  Was a pretty bright room and a sunny day, so it could've just been my eyes not having adjusted for it.

Does anyone know how many MCDs the ButtonBlasters are pushing?  Only post I've seen from RandyT on it was saying that they were "in the thousands".  Superbrightleds.com has an 8000mcd w/45 degree angle, as well as 18000mcd w/30 degree angle, both of which look suitable.  Curious for comparison, though; the ones from Superbrightleds are twice the price as the ones from GGG.

If your shots were with 4000mcds, though, then any of the above should be suitable for my purposes.  Cool!   :D
