I purchased a tiny white led light at the local book store that I attached to the back of the the TL120 with Velcro. It has an adjustable led window so it can be directed downward and at an angle. When I push the button to the LED, the light shines into the film window and I can advance in the dark. Does not appear to fog the film and its very handy. It doesn't work too well in bright sunlight though... :-)

You'll need a solar powered one for that Kevin! :-)
