<DIV>That was the point of my last post. I accepted that the LEDs R’nTK asked
about were bright. I was asking what about my case with the dim LEDs that are
just visible as “on” / “off” indicators. That was the diff between your
response and RLK. He seemed to think that even the tiny bit of illumination
they provide is adequate for ner Shabbos – I was asking for some authority on
this issue in the poskim. My own gut feeling was that they were not adequate
so I was asking if there was discussion of this matter in the poskim as to the
difference of opinion between RLK and myself.</DIV>
