    A package of blue-tack - it is basically sticky play-dough that is completely opaque and you can use wads of it to blunt the pain of stupid LEDs on on your tech shit. I am currently sitting in my living room looking at my TV and various components including router and stuff…easily 20 gobs of blue-tack masking 20 blinking LEDs.

      It’s also great for holding electronic components in place while you solder them into circuit boards - even LEDs lol.

      Blue tack is very handy stuff. But you know, they make blackout stickers for exactly this application. They look a lot nicer. Though personally, I just cut little pieces of black electrical tape.

        I’ve tried (electrical tape) that but found it is gummy and leaves a sticky mess.
