To be honest, pants, not very visible at all.
I did take a picture, but it was with a crappy camera so it didn't come out
well at all.

Hang on, you're worrying abotu 200-400mA, of 5V supply?
When the Logic boards in the PPG pull around 3.5A?
Don't worry, the PSU is rated at 5A for the 5V rail :-)

:-)
Just think about stage plays.
Theatrical lighting places sell films in all sorts of shades...
Let me know the size you want, and I'll cut you a bit from the sheet I have
and post it to you (once I can find a tube).
