How to Make Massive Arcade Button Brighter

Post by BethDuPlessie »

Hello,
We are powering a Massive Arcade Button with a Feather RFM69 M0 using a 3.7 V lipo battery. We knew the LED in the button would be dim, but now we're looking for ways to make it brighter, even if it means another power source (but we'd really rather stay entirely on the Feather!).

This is for a kids game like Simon, so it's really important that the lights are bright enough so the kids know which button to hit.

Thanks for any and all help!

Hello!

Interestingly enough, I have bought the same buttons and am seeking to also make them brighter. I have found that the Yellow button is considerably more dim than the others but wouldn't mind them all being a little brighter. Were you able to find a solution to this? Lovely boxes btw--they look fantastic.

thank you and all the best.
