pilot lights on all vacuum tube sets usually start bright and then become dimmer as the tubes begin to warm up. The point is to make the red jewel glow a little. positioning of the pilot lamp can, to a limited extent, make the jewel a little brighter or dimmer. I have not finished the cabinet restoration yet so I haven't put my chassis back into the cabinet, otherwise I could tell you more about how much you might be able to move the lamp around.
Cheers,
Bob
