Fun Lite-Brite Ultimate Value Retro Toy

Santa brought this toy to my son this year, and he was excited to get to work on a cute penguin. He was happy with it, but I was immediately distracted by the fact that some pegs were very bright, while entire areas were barely lit at all. Last night, I got out the screwdriver to look under the hood. I saw 6 small LEDs, 4 around the perimeter, two in the middle of the box. There was a piece of card in there, probably to protect the wires from the pegs - I ditched it. My son also got some tracing paper, and I used a sheet of it to fold up and make some tent-like diffusers over the center lights, and put it back together. It is an improvement, but still not great. It makes sense that the manufacturer would use LEDs, unlike the Lite Brite I remember as a child, but they should find an inexpensive way to make the light more diffuse and scattered in the box, and not so direct to the eyes.
