Electrical tape to black it out.
Painters tape to dim it.
The electrical tape approach is what I did and it did wonders. Went from having a myriad of green and blue LEDs on my fans/portable AC/etc to complete wonderful darkness when I retired for the night. Made a distinct difference in my ability to fall asleep faster at night. I hate having lights when going to bed. Darkness or bust.
You can actually buy tinted tape to dim them without completely blacking them out. So you can take your clock from “bright enough to keep your entire bedroom lit” to “just bright enough to read in the dark.”
Found out while watching Technology Connections. Bright blue monochromatic LEDs are one of his biggest pet peeves, and he mentioned the tinted tape off-hand in one of his videos.

Bingo, there it is. Thanks!
I bought some pre-cut led dimming stickers on a sheet. Any new electronics that come into my house get one. As someone who likes to sleep in near complete darkness it's a must have.
Yep I have a pack of various shapes and sizes for dimming LEDs. You just stick it over the light. Works great
Do this and never look back
May the LED's I tape not light the way
With the tape over the LEDs you can look back though. You won't be blinded. It'll be OK.
I literally travel with a roll of black electric tape for this exact reason.
No officer, I use it to cover the lights on electronics in my hotel room. Honest!
I mean, just carry a small roll of it, not one that's like an inch or two wide...
Thanks for reminding me. Gotta pack that for my next holiday.
Didn't think about the painters tape for just dimming the light, great idea.
I have a black pen that can write on plastic. I've used that to dim the insanely bright LED on a smoke detector. If you are careful (I wasn't) then this method looks nicer than putting some tape on a device.
Use cut pieces of sticky notes. It's the correct width and doesnt look as jank
I use tiny balls of patafix/blutac to cover exactly the LED surface.
....or one or more layers of nail polish.
