I have a "looper" pedal I use in my musical performances, and it has a couple of LED indicators, one RED and one AMBER, telling me when I'm in RECORD or OVERDUB mode. Unfortunately these are SMD LEds coupled to the control panel with something like light pipes, and they just aren't bright enough to see reliably in daylight. I wonder if anyone could suggest some replacements that are still small enough that I likely could find a way to mount within the existing pedal. I feel confident I'll have little trouble designing a driver circuit, as the existing LED driver circuits probably won't offer enough current. But here's the thing... I really don't want something that going to require a separate power supply to operate. Of course I want the LEDs to be bright, but they don't have to be bright enough to compete with direct sunlight. I'm hoping to find some LEDs that will make a major improvement , but won't require more than about 50mA give or take. Thoughts?
