Oh sweet mercy! Kill those awful glowing LEDs with LightDims
Modern gadgets are beset by a creeping evil, a blight which is slowly taking over our homes, disturbing our slumber and annoying everybody but teenage nerds who build their own liquid-cooled, glow-in-the-dark gaming PCs.
I am talking about ? of course ? LED blinkenlights, the usually-blue glowing pimples that pepper routers, speakers, computers and even USB hubs. Turn out the lights in any room with just one of these technological Will o? the Wisps and you will be bathed in an eery and sleep-denying glow.
The usual fix is a strip of insulating tape, but that?s ugly. LightDims fix this. $6 will buy you a pack of little circular and rectangular stickers which you use to cover the offending lamps. Two kids are available: Black Out and Original Strength.
The Black Outs do the same job as your electrical tape, but the Original Strengths go one better. They cut the light by around 80%, reducing the previous glare to a less intrusive dull glow. Thus you can still see what your gadgets are trying to tell you, but now they whisper instead of shouting. Think of them as sunglasses for your toys.
Either pack will cost $6, but you can double up or mix-and-match and get two for $10. That will buy you countless good nights? sleep, and is a lot cheaper than my usual method of nodding off in my photon-filled bedroom: a good slug of Scotch.
