Another point in the endless war against useless always-on LEDs. (My least favorite was a night light with a switch. It had an always-on LED when plugged in even if you switched the night light off. Instant e-waste.)
They also have white versions
LEDs on the electric toothbrush shining brigher than a thousand suns? Put stickers on them.
LEDs on the dog water fountain illuminating the whole living room at night? Put stickers on them.
The funny thing is that the LEDs are so bright that they still shine through the stickers. Except that now it's at the brightness level they should have had in the first place.
I've taken to just cutting the leads or traces to those power LEDs. Problem solved.
It was so bright that even two layers of gaff tape didn't resolve the situation.
It's crazy. I often wonder about the reasoning behind choosing to use these LEDs is. Does nobody actually use these device in the real world during development?
So that basically leads to them purchasing leds that are powerful enough for all uses and using them for everything, ie, they're way too bright.
Usage is entirely secondary
I like LightDims a lot. I realize I could just use tape, but I can always find the right size and shape that way on smaller devices, plus a little light comes through. It just doesn't shine.
the point is so that you can find the light in the dark. it may be poorly made or unecessary but I can at least in theory understand the logic.
