Nucleo Leds are too bright

Is there a prize for the most trivial post?

Opened up a new Nucleo-L476RG board (finally worked my way through the 10+ boards I bought a number of years ago) - it comes in a cardboard box now, nice.

The Leds (LD1, LD3) were so bright, I couldn't probe anywhere around the micro or connectors without squinting. So I replaced the resistors for these Leds (1K, 100?) with 22K, things are much more mellow now.

Most people are using these boards indoors, the Leds only have to be bright enough for people to notice - not beaming out like the Eye of Sauron. 

Anyway, something for you to think about. Meanwhile, there's a few annoying clouds outside I need to shout at....

What, you don't do all your debugging while wearing a welder's helmet?  Safety first!
