Reply to comment by rockmsedrik in TIL the first Blue LED wasn't commercially available until 1989 and bright blue LEDs weren't available until 1993. by j-merc23

I understand that it's not always possible for everyone, but this is exactly why I have zero electronics in my bedroom (aside from my phone charging on my bedside table, but that doesn't have an always on LED).

That plus blackout curtains have really improved my sleep!

Agreed, best to have forms of RF away from sleep spaces, current situation has a single room for both work and sleep, so black out curtness, sound absorbing wall blankets, and blacking out all BLUE LED's on things. Even the RED LEDs on power strips are too bright now. Have to tape over them as well.

Thankful to Lévoit Air purifiers for having the option to TURN OFF the LED panel. Also thankful to Govee humidifier for having a "LED panel brightness, and schedule on and off" settings.

More electronics need to think about the brightness in dark rooms. Light pollution is a ongoing battle.
