Mildly Infuriating

It's just really cheap electricity wise and as a means to convey information that a device is actually functioning. I thought you were going to complain about them being use in PC modding, where it's actually somewhat excessive, but even then in modern PCs it at least serves the purpose to light up the inside and tell you the state of the PC, such as the amount of dust, loose pieces, or fans that may have stopped working.

I take whatever it is and I usually rip it off 😂 I did that with my GPU so that I only have a slightly bright led of ROG on the backplate, that way it really discreet and not a eye catcher, and not a "eye burner" like it was

I also have the same problem with Luke LEDs, which is why I have a lot of black electrical tape all around my room. If it's a blue light I cannot turn off, I just tape over it.

Did I hear you say you wanted LED Nut Rings? You'll literally see yourself coming!

My speakers have this same issue, lights up the whole room

As you noted, lack electrical tape is your friend, on these. So annoying, but it works well. I got a headset where the charging base blinks green on and off, basically 24/7. Black tape was the first thing I did, even before using hte headset for the first time.

I installed a heated/lighted medicine cabinet in my master bathroom without realizing the blue LED touch controls would be bright enough to light up the bathroom and bedroom. Now I regret spending so much money on it.

I had to pop open my daughter's wipe warmer to yank out a bunch of useless LEDs that were keeping her up. Why can't we just have a damned off switch?

Yes! I had to use tape to black out the LEDs on devices in my bedroom because I could see all manner of blinking lights once I dimmed the room lights.

It's also difficult to buy a power strip without a light nowadays. The ones without a switch+light are even more expensive, if you can find it....

I mean, you don't don't compare a bit before you buy? My clock only lights up on sound or if i tap it.

Couldn't agree more!

Buy a paint pen to darken how bright they are or just use a tiny piece of electrical tape. I too hate that every goddamn thing these days has a light, but the only indication if a feature on a device is on or off is by looking at the lights, so they are unfortunately an important thing.

More cyberpunk vibes

I bought a snowball microphone. It has the brightest goddamned red led on the front. It juts out like some rectangular boil and it's annoying as it is ugly.

So I had to cut off some black electric tape to cover it. The light is ALWAYS on. Maybe it's to let you know it could be recording, but since it's always on no matter what I'm doing, being always off is the same thing.
