Lower exposure with the FireSword, they're clearly visible.pic.twitter.com/Z1ZToZibr9
Note that that last photo isn't in the dark, it's with normal room lighting and lowered exposure. They definitely aren't *dim*. Here's an actual shot in the dark and one in normal lighting and exposure. The camera exaggerates them a bit though.pic.twitter.com/SSpvkfE5Xe
For reference, when I started they were 10 times brighter or so and hurt my eyes *even through a layer of tape*.

that actually looks a little dim. Words I don't think I've said about indicator LEDs very often.
The first photo shows them being illuminated by this. Believe me, they aren't dim. They're bright enough to be perfectly visible in any sensible circumstance, and no brighter.pic.twitter.com/FiFl0bLfLN
