LightDims Stickers Block Super-Bright LEDs On Home Electronics

Almost everyone knows the feeling of turning off the lights or sitting down to watch a movie only to be annoyed by bright, glowing blue and red LEDs on the front of your electronics. LightDims are stickers that will either block those LEDs entirely, or just dim them a bit so they’re not distracting.

The promo video above is the most ridiculous 2 minutes you’ll ever waste, but the idea is solid. LightDims come in a variety of transparencies based on how much light you’d like to block. Just peel off a circle or square of the opacity you prefer, and stick them on the offending button or light. You can still use the button, and they’re easy to remove.

A sheet will set you back $US5.99, which isn’t bad if you absolutely have to have perfectly round or square covers for the LEDs. At the same time, you can get small circular stickers by the sheet at your local office supply store for the same price (or less,) and nothing’s stopping you from cutting out a piece of masking tape to get the same effect, even if it’s a little messier. How do you keep the lights on your electronics from waking you at night? Leave your tips in the comments.
