PS: Electrical tape is better than duct tape because it's A: Black, B: It's rated for up to (typically, verify) about 200F and 600V. When I've resorted to this it's been on some things like stereo components that both get quite warm and have the tape pretty close to things like speaker terminals so being reasonably insulating is a nice safety blanket.

Black nail polish is more elegant! I've said it before and I'll spread the word for as long as I live!

I could be convinced but the old school dull green's I don't find objectionable at all. Nor the similarly dim warm orangey reds of the same era.

The blue ones are just so much brighter, and many of them seem to have a flicker, too.

I could settle for a switch at the bottom to disable all lights, and in return the manufacturer is allowed to add as many as they like
