I use these stickers to block annoying LED lights and they are 20% off for Cyber ​​Monday

Almost nothing distracts me more than crawling into my comfy bed, turning off my smart lights, and seeing shadows on the wall of what should be a pitch-black bedroom. The culprit is almost always a new device with an LED display brighter than a full moon. So I trudge over to the toolbox, grab my trusty roll of electrical tape, and cut a piece to randomly stick over the offending LED, or two if it’s particularly bright.

A month ago I discovered cheap Jieheng LED light blocking and dimming stickers on Amazon, and I will never go back. With Black Friday sales in full swing, Amazon Prime members can snag this unassuming gift item for around $6 (20% off). For more information, here are our favorite Cyber ​​Monday deals, including iPad and tablet deals.

What I love about these stickers

These pre-cut stickers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making them ideal for covering indicator lights throughout my apartment. Of the two types of blackout stickers in the package, I like the 50% dimming variety for smart home hubs, surge protectors, and other devices where I occasionally need to check their operating status. They’re great for toning down the bright displays of some kitchen appliances. I also doubled the stickers to increase the dimming effect on the worst offenders without completely blocking them.

I use the 100% blocking stickers for everything else, including a big green button on my laser printer. For years I hung a thick piece of plastic over this button because the tape would cause the button to stick. Now a well-placed, perfectly sized blackout sticker turns the button into a tiny ring of light without affecting its movement.

However, one of the biggest advantages of these Jieheng stickers is that they come in black and white colors, so you can customize them to fit your device. Although I have seen some brands that sell multiple colors, including silvermost competitors are only available in black – or sell their white stickers separately.

I can’t say that saving a dollar or two on this will significantly expand your holiday gift budget, but it may be enough to stay under the price limit of a Secret Santa. Likewise, they’re a cheap addition if you don’t have Amazon Prime and need an additional item to qualify for free shipping.
