I agree -- assuming it can dim WAY down... the WAF is very low in my house if there are any lights at all visible.
I'm totally with her on that one - when I sleep, I want it
dark. I had to replace the KeypadLinc face in the master bedroom with a black one to get it dark enough so that I couldn't really see it. I've got an old Samsung Plasma TV in there. Samsung, being unable to do any real usability testing, decided that a very bright glowing blue ring around the power button must glowing when OFF. Brightens the room enough to easily see everything. Very annoying especially since it's also the IR receiver so I have to find something to put in front of it that will block visible light but let enough IR through to still work. I've resisted taking the frame off to try to disable the LEDs because I've always been able to find the right thing to block it but I've come very close on occasion.
I also had to put black electrician's tape over the LED on the smoke detector in there because it was so bright. We put blackout blinds in there, but light still seeps around them - still trying to figure out how to solve that little issue.
Did I mention I like it
very dark when I sleep?
