Wolfepack, I know about the exposed L.E.D. glare, and just wanted to say, the cheapest, easiest fix, is electrical tape, wrap it around the exposed LED and cut it as close to the tip as possible... you may have to seperate the tape after cutting, but that is not hard to do with a pen.

Great idea. Even simpler than heat shrink! Thanks!
