hmmm thought I'd ask our trusty board this one..
I have more than 7 pieces of audio/visual equipment in my bedroom, all have varrying degress of annoying status lights, i.e. Power LED...

Is there anything, like a sticker/tape, magic marker? I can use to put over these lights to dim them while I am trying to sleep?
I don't want to go to the point of disconnecting/desoldering etc, I want to able able to see these lights during day/night time viewing, i..e tivo recording status..

Shrink tubeing around the ends is something I've heard of, but never tried.

Post-it?

Seriously my old computer case had the brightest, most annoying light. I just put a post-it over it and it made sleeping in the same room bearable. I could still see the light through it, but it was much dimmer.

I personally use black electrical tape on black audio components.
