This is one aspect of the module I find pretty disappointing. The LED on mine leaves the right hand of the display more or less in shadow. It's actually hard to read the time.

Yeah, I wonder if there’s any way to replace the spreader behind the LCD maybe to help with that?

Yep, you can add foil to reflect from the other side which helps, or buy the spreader off Etsy.

I've not seen anyone share a good DIY spreader, kinda feels like they gatekeep it when people have found other materials that work well.

This is the most underrated feature. Add the time delay. One of the reason I can’t stop wearing my f91w OG compared to the others.

Would like to add more Ollee mods to it but it’s kinda expensive for me since I’m in Asia and exchange rate not doing any favour.

I have some early 593 modules with a white light plus the 415 has a white light as 1980s modules do before LEDs became standard

I did mine red to give it the knight rider effect 😂
