Front panel and operation status LEDs need to be visible from below and in bright sunlight.
Units from other vendors generally angle the front panel downward, design the case so the LEDs are visible from directly below, and/or use very bright LEDs.

Emlid RS2 - panel angled downward.
Trimble R12i - bright and large LEDs visible from directly below.
Topcon - front panel angled downward.
Carlson BRx5: Very bright LEDs and nothing on the case to block LED visibility from directly below. The LEDs protrude slightly to aid visibility from below.
