Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts
Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts
Why does every small appliance or useful home electronics item have the BRIGHTEST LEDs in them?
I bought a new fan for our bedroom Sunday. It has 4 speed settings, and LEDs to display which setting you're on.
Just like every other electrical device in our bedroom, I had to cover the LEDs with electrical tape because they are TOO DAMM BRIGHT. That one light was more than bright enough for me to see in the room with all the lights off.
I can't sleep well if there's a lot of light like that, especially blue light, and it's like every fucking electronics manufacturer used the same extra bright blue LEDs.
All of our power strips have them. Same brightness.
The fans have them.
Don't even get me started on digital clocks and the plague of bright LEDs that they bring about
Many charging plugs have them built into the plug itself.
Even some fucking light switches have them now!
I have about 6 different things in our bedroom that have electrical tape over their completely unnecessary LEDs.
Why has this become such a common thing? Is this really something most people want? To have a room that is never actually dark even with the lights turned off?
You're viewing a single thread.
You must be buying crap. I have lots and lots of electronic devices, flashlights too and the indicator lights on the vast majority of them aren't as bright as you're saying.
You might have some kind of problem with your eye sight.

... good night vision?
My eye doctor examined my eyes and saw several reasons why I see very well in low amounts of light. I'm also really good at spotting small bugs and small items that everyone else seems to miss.
The eye doctor told me to never go outside in daylight without proper eye protection. Not even when the sky is overcast.
Yeah it not all stuff, you'll know when you get a bright one. I have a charging dock for cordless tools in the laundry and the lights on that thing are so bright the hallway glows red or green at night even with the door shut.
You just might have night vision as good as mine.
Definitely not, I'm almost night blind... But maybe that has something to do with it too
