And a bunch of listeners had suggested Inovelli, if I recall correctly, switches, which are similar to what I'm talking about, but basically, in addition to just a standard paddle switch, the Inovelli has, like, a single diffused switch or a single diffuser with several LEDs behind it.
So I could kind of get what I wanted, but it would all kind of be visually one LED with different colors that bleed together. So I didn't really love that.

And I got it about a week ago, I'd say.

So if you look, I'll paint you a word picture. So I don't know if I ever put a picture of this publicly up until just now, but there is a blank, if you will, wall plate, which is...

uh, not quite eye level, but a little bit higher. That's where the RJ 11 outlet used to be. And just recently, which kind of started this whole process, I had taken away the RJ 11, the phone outlet and put on just a blank because there was no need for the phone outlet anymore. If you look to the right, about a foot and a half and about six inches down. So what is that like a half a meter?

And I don't know what, in several centimeters down. There is a trio, a three-gang set of switches, and this one is in the middle, and it is not a great picture, but you can see that there are seven LEDs on the left-hand side of the middle switch.
