I have started putting electrical tape over leds. My external sound card had the brightest white flashing light when the computer was off but the sound card is still plugged in. Impossible to sleep with that obnoxious white blinking.
- SilasX 3y agoWhen first heard the song “LEF (loud electronic ferocious)” it occurred to me that LEDs could be backronymed to Loud Electronic Dysphoric. But it seemed pointless because that didn’t describe LEDs. Now it seems like it does!
- brudgers 3y agoThe LED on Mackie mixers is labeled “Rude Solo”.

- Dan_Sylveste 3y agoI've not encountered a non-white LED that was even vaguely visible through a layer of black electrical tape, and there's always room for a second layer.
- brudgers 3y agoNothing wrong with electrical tape (or duct tape). I’ve used both many years and only bought my first roll of gaffer’s tape a few years ago. Gaffer’s tape works better for me because its material properties and packaging make it suitable for a wider range of applications. It handles many of my off label uses for electrical tape and duct tape. It is designed for versatility.

- brudgers 3y agoEvery time I buy good tape I question my financial decision making. Every time I use good tape I know it was worth it. Good tapes just tape better. If I need lots of tape, I am using the wrong tape and two or three rolls of the wrong tape is just more of wrong.
