[Elecraft] K3, k4 Black knobs

OK, I operate portable and often at night and lighting has to be managed to
reduce critters of the night dive bombing me when operating.

Wearing a head mounted light causes the critters to go into a frenzy so
does not help.

I often wonder what it would be like If the buttons and/or knobs could be
either back-lit or maybe they could be lighter in color to help nighttime
operation.

As it stands, the k3 is very hard to see if i need to use any front
controls.

Placing a light behind me has worked for me but at times the critters
wander away from the light and use me as a target for harassment.

Anyone found an alternative to what I have tried?
