Now test it to make sure it works. Put in the batteries, hit the trigger switch, and maybe even turn out the lights to see the LED lights better. You should probably also wear other steampunk things while doing this test. Speaking of which, I've made a slideshow out of those goggles.

 If the light on the indicator is too bright you could always place a piece of transparent plastic over it to diffuse the light?

Or what you can do if thats the case, You can stick a resistor before the light. its easier to do that than to place a piece of plastic over the liht which could possibly melt and ruin this fantastic piece.

Yes, diffused light in general looks better than hot point for steampunk themes. Gives the light a warmth similar to light produced by incandescent bulbs
