LEDs on electronics need either a maximum brightness or an adjustable brightness. I have taken to covering the LEDs on charger bricks with Sharpie/tape (often multiple layers of tape) to dampen the brightness because I cannot function with these damn things at night.
Connected to this: Bluetooth headphones do not need, and never needed, a flashing LED while they’re in use. I would regulate this harshly.
They should flash when they are first turned on, so you can tell that they turned on. That helps diagnose connection issues versus power issues. After that, though, darkness please.
And the fast blink while pairing can stay too. That's a good use of the LED imho.
Mine have a setting to disable the light outside of initial startup so thankfully I'm safe here.
Same, all my electronics look like abominations of electric tape, it's the only way I can have them not light up my room at night.
Did you try just shutting off the current?
Right. Gonna do that with the humidifier
That I need
To make my room bearable during drought season
Or the split AC.
That I also need
To make my room bearable during summer.
Can you see how that would be a problem?
People who make electric devices are putting blinding blue LEDs in a million places they do not and will never belong.
My trick is printer paper! 1 layer suffices for most LEDs, but the most intense ones need 2.

I need to try that. Thanks for the tip!
