Not easily.

30 inch ones are in the PDF catalog.

No, because the MOTM form factor was designed *specifically* to go into a
SKB pop-up mixer case.
Why? Because the Fenix did NOT fit in one, caused *many* lost sales.

Knock yourself out.
drill a hole, buy a Lumex LED from Digikey and a 2.2K resistor.

Complicates the wiring. This is supposed to be the easy kit :)

Mine does this all by itself.
