Cut a small square from the tough white foam Sparkfun ships with ICs and IC sockets. Then with an X-Acto knife, cut a small X in the underside of the cube of foam, being careful not to cut all the way through to the top. Then with scissors round out the sides and top of the cube. Stick the LED into the X you cut into the foam, and now you won't have the spotlight effect!
If you want to go back to the clear LED, just remove the foam piece.
