I too thought that from looking at them, thanks Dave. Out of interest please confirm if/how the illumination still looks if you get chance.

Not another top-secret link to the Capri Power forum that non-members can't access!
It's free to sign up and free to access, just like this forum. There is a lot of good info on there, many members use both.
