Sonoff smartswitch led dimmer

thingiverse

I had a problem with the Sonoff Basic Smartswitch Active LED that was way too bright, so when a room is dark, the LED shines so bright that one can almost use the Sonoff switch as a lamp. Then I decided to make a mod to dim this bright LED, and as a result, this tiny canister was born. If you found this design very helpful or otherwise wish to support me, you can buy me a cup of coffee (it helps keep my brain active so I can create new stuff), then please consider using this link: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Mb1vZjXUG" target="_blank"><img src="https://bmc-cdn.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/BMC-button-images/custom_images/black_img.png" alt="Buy Me A Coffee" style="height: auto !important;width: auto !important;" ></a> There are two versions of the canister, one with a 1.5mm hole and one with a 2mm hole. I discovered that the Sonoff LED does not have the same amount of light intensity in all Sonoffs, so you can tune the LED light with these two different canisters. The picture of the Sonoff with the added mod should be seen in a dark room to see if the LED is as dimmed as you want it to be. Be aware that you do need to disassemble the Sonoff to put the canister over the LED, and this is very important: you need to cut off the protruding ring on the surface that holds the LED ("see picture") so that there is enough space for the canister. This can easily be done with a flat-cutter. EDIT: 1st September 2018. I have uploaded v2 of this little canister to dim the Sonoff LED. The only difference between the new and old versions is that it now has the form of the LED bulb in the top, made to fit a completely redesigned Sonoff case that addresses several issues I found with the original Sonoff case, such as not being suitable for having space for a ground-connected wire or holding main wires securely enough. As with the old LED dimmer, the new one is also available in versions with small and large holes, so you can choose how much you want the LED to shine.
