Lighting a Happ Translucent Pushbutton
« on: October 28, 2005, 07:04:31 pm »
I just bought and received some of these Translucent buttons from Happ and i wanted to know if there is a preferred method for lighting them.  (I'm sure I can figure out something, but if there is an easier way, I'm all for it).

thanks

I believe people prefer a super-bright LED to light them.
