[Elecraft] KPA500 - Light leaking around the Buttoms

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

why does it need to be fixed because it sits at the perfect angle to look like an LED shining
I have them about a foot below eye level and off to the right of center.

I had never noticed it, so had to go check mine.  Yes, it does the same thing.

I've never done anything, because I have never noticed it.  Now that I see it, I
can't imagine why it would be a problem, much less something that needs to be
fixed.  Actually, I wish they all had a little light outlining them, and even a
backlit label, so they could be found in low light.

BTW, my 500 is at eye level, looking right at me.
