Casts shadow on Dial

I bought the mechanical version as I have a mechanical dial. The light shines directly down so you can see the top of the dial. The problem I ran into with my safe is the top marker used to line the dial with casts a shadow on the dial itself blacking out 3-4 markers making accurate alignment impossible. I can easily remove the light and hold it like a flashlight and get the job done, but a little disappointed I have to do this. My safe is a Liberty safe, but I think most mechanical dials are designed about the same and my cause the same problem. I’m curious if the version for electronic key pads would actually be better for mechanical dials as well, as the light shines more from an outward position. Something to consider before purchasing for your mechanical dial
