Watching this thread with some interest, as I use my K3 to drive transverters when roving in VHF contests, and it's hard to see the front panel controls at night. I tried making a light with a bit of aluminum angle stock and a short strip of white LEDs (the kind that come on a long roll), but even with a dimmer in line it was too bright. Maybe if I tried it with a short strip of red LEDs it would be better.
Kinda reminds me of the red lights we used in the darkroom when developing film back in the day...
