I find that most tapes are not blacking out everything I want, and often light can leak through the cases of cheap equipment. For those cases I usually use a combination of tape (of any kind) with pieces of tin foil underneath, which reliably blocks all the light. Of course make sure to not use it on any contacts, but that's usually not an issue for consumer grade hardware.
- stordoff 6y agoI ended up putting some tape inside my Hue bridge to block out multiple bright blue LEDs. The cheap tape I used not blocking it completely (even with two or three layers) ended up working out pretty well - they're now _just_ bright enough to see if you need to check the status, but even in a dark room they won't catch your eye unless you're looking directly at them.
