Working from home with my desk in my bedroom, I grew to hate the always-on, bright blue LED on my USB-C laptop dock. I get it, you're plugged in, go away and take your light pollution with you.


The case I bought from Frys for my last desktop build a few years ago has a power LED that lights up half the room. I taped a penny over it.


For desktops, a nice solution is to hook up the power led to the speaker connection. At some point, pc speakers stopped coming with cases as they did in the past. And power leds have been mostly useless for a long time.


Multiple electronics' LEDs in my room have insulating tape on them, mutes the light brightness a lot!


If you are looking to block these out, I can’t recommend these stickers enough - LED Light Blocking Stickers, Light Dimming LED Filters

They also have white versions
