Dim that D*mn Little Green Light

Is there or will there be a way to dim or turn off the bright green power-on LED? It is intense in a small camper or room and I’d prefer not to have to put black tape over it. Used to have to do that on my Volvo check engine light lol.

Nope!! Electrical tape is your friend or simply turn the unit around?? Haha :man_shrugging:t2:

Black electrical tape.

I don’t know you I’d have those Ring or Google home cameras. One day they decided to make their LED on forever instead of user configurable when recording to “protect privacy” so people in the home would know when they are recording. I end up cutting little electrical tape squares to cover all of them.

But yeah, not same situation with Bluetti, but tape would be the thing to do.

Ummm… which model are you talking about?

Hey Ziggy - I have the AC200Max - green lantern version :slight_smile: .

Black Sharpie marker also work, but is harder to undo.

Hi @philfr212,

Sorry, no.
If you want to make it dim, how about covering it with something?

Yah - good old electric tape is the suggested go-to

Or try these light dims. https://www.amazon.com/LightDims-Original-Strength-Electronics-Appliances/dp/B00CLVEQCO/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B00CLVEQCO&psc=1

I seem to remember a 3D printing design file in a Bluetti forum (can’t remember which one). I have the AC200MAX and it hasn’t bothered me enough to need to cover it up.

What a great idea! I didn’t know these existed. Thanks!

Use black plastic material, even cheap sunglasses. Or use a clear plastic material, then give it many coats of black marker ink.

My AC300 and B300 units are enclosed in a huge Rubbermaid storage shed (with forced fan ventilation) so I never see their LEDs on unIess I go to the shed and open the lid. I check on them using the Bluetti app. I can post a picture if requested.

There are several brands of solid colored 1-inch round stickers found online for $5 - $10 a pack of several hundred. I went with silver, but they sell black, holographic silver, etc., and a lot of other colors too. I wish the light dimmer material came in a bit more reasonable precut pack of say a dozen 1" circles, but even though I have access to a scan-n-cut and one can get sheets of that dimming material, the premade solid circles are what I went with for simplicity sake. I suppose a hole punch could be used in combination with solid stickers and the dimmer dots to make a smaller dimmed circle of green light being emitted, if desired.

Newer Wi-Fi routers have options to dim by percentage or turn off LED lights in their software apps…maybe this feature could be added to the Bluetti app as a firmware upgrade as well? The round green doughnut lights work like a lighthouse for passing ships on a foggy night…it would be best to dim them via software if possible. Please add this feature to future devices - even if it is not possible with existing devices. :sunglasses: Thank you

I have a similar issue with my caravan diesel heater control. I designed up a 3D printed cover which a friend printed for me. It sticks on with velcro when I go to bed and removed in the morning.
Easiest way, fold a small strip of insulation tape back on itself for removal and replace when the adhesive wears out.

Mandp - I like the Velcro idea, and I have access to various 3D printers at work - that is a good idea too.

I just ordered some 20mm silver round stickers that I plan to try out once they arrive. The green shines through the 1" silver stickers I have just enough to see that the devices are on, but I think the 20mm version might be a much better fit and allow the button to work well while also dimming the green light just the right amount. Hopefully the 20mm size will negate the need to ever remove or replace them too. We’ll see once they get here…Thanks

@Jeffrey, Yup Velcro fixes many things. My WiFi home modem is located in the Walk in robe adjacent to the bedroom (no door), its LED lights are very bright and noticeable at night. I put a 25mm square piece of adhesive backed Velcro hook either side of the light panel and a strip of Pile across them, problem solved. Removable when I want to check status and no night light when in place. Simple solutions to annoying problems, lol. :slight_smile:
