    The hardware has no regulators to change the resistance or voltage of the LED's. A simple change like this would require a hardware modifications. Is it a big enough deal to warrant the complaints? I dont think so. There are now 6 different LED configurations available and there are plenty of easy and safe ways reduce the brightness if its that much of an issue. Heck the competition LI, LSP & HP-905's dont even have a status LED that shows when the system is activated and Jamming let alone tell you the direction from a single LED.

    Just get one of these.....
