I’m kinda the opposite—I miss functional LEDs on things. I miss disk activity light the most, but there’s many things that have no indication as to whether they’re even on or connected. Overly bright LEDs are a problem tho

Blue LEDs are the absolute worst. I have to keep my bedroom door shut to sleep at night because the LED clock display on my stove is so goddamn bright it lights up the whole house.

I was part of a “focus group” just some random people that my friend and his team asked questions to about some humidifier or something, I genuinely don’t remember and he was shocked when I said I didn’t want ANY LED lights on the product and he’s like “how will you know it’s on??” On a product that would absolutely make noise while running. We compromised and I told him a completely hidden LED under the product, as long as it had no light leaks would be acceptable.

YES, especially when they're overly bright for their intended purpose. Notify bright, ok. Pin hole sized LED bright enough to light up an entire room at night, NOT OK.

I hate how I have to put eletrical tape over all my device lights so I can get some peace at night.

This was at its worst when blue LEDs were new. Everybody wanted to show how cool they were and used a blue LED, but they were the brightest lights imaginable.

Like, just a hint, if your indicator light actually casts shadows on my wall at night, it's too bright.

I have an air purifier and one of the amazing things about it that they haven't actually advertised is that there is a button you can press to make all the LEDs go off. I just bought the best one in my price range, but if they put that feature on the box I'd have gone right for it.
