    The on and off lights on this devive are underneath and virtualy impossible to see. Placement of mirrors half covers the problem but is there a professional way yo remedy this?

    Assuming you are using the 5000T, not sure if it is very different from what you are doing, but this is how I have mine:

    The box front is lifted about half an inch with a couple of small blocks. Then I have a strip of white card, about 3ins x 0.5ins, which is laid under the centre of the box front (narrow end towards me) with a small double fold to lift the front edge up into a wide “V”.

    It shows the red better than the blue, but it is better than invisible.

    Cannot comment if it is the 4000T.

    Thanks for your help. This helped a little but you would thing for the price of a 500 it would be better designed or at least they would have a fix

    Any thought on turning it upside down?

    Perhaps that is the answer and everybody is using them the wrong way up? :mrgreen:

    Nearly the same with mine. Up on blocks with an old flash gun diffuser blu-tac’d as half a ‘V’. Shows red better than blue – but at least I can see them.

    You’d have to prop it up to avoid jamming the on/off P+/P- Vol+/Vol- buttons. Not sure whether the top plastic surface is very strong either.

    I’ve just put a small strip of kitchen foil beneath the light. Works brilliantly (literally, it’s very bright).

    That was absolutely fantastic, works a treat. No more crawling on hands and knees to see what colour was alight

    Many, many thanks
