Voodoo Lab uses this peice of rubber that slips over the exposed portions of the LED leads in their pedals. Unfortunately I do not have a picture but does anyone...

a) know what I'm talking about?
b) know what they're called?
c) where and can find them?

Thanks guys.

Shrink tubing?
Radio Shack or any electronics parts supplier.

It's not shrink tubing (I know you can do the same thing with shrink tubing). It's a spongy material maybe a little more than 1/8" in diameter and has two holes for the leads. Almost looks like the black rubber pipe insulation you get at Home Depot.

Sorta kinda but without the lip/flange. It's a straight tube. Voodoo Lab uses it to cover the inch or so gap between the PCB and the bottom of the LED where the leads are exposed.

What I've done before is stripped some wire and used the insulation from that - would that work for you?

Alright, have a look at this then. I`ve a feeling something HERE will fit the bill. If not, I give up. :icon_lol:

Sort of like the plugs that come with LED bezels, like the third (l to r) piece http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=94?  When I've ordered bezels, sometimes those plugs are plastic, sometimes rubber...
