One of the best things about having knowledge in component level electronics is being able to open up consumer electronics and disable unnecessary lights and speakers. Personal table top fans are a big offender here. Lots of folks use them at night, and there’s no reason they need to have 10 bright blue LEDs lit all the time the fan has power.

I’m lazy and cover bright LEDs with thick black electrical tape. Even then it sometimes takes more than one piece of tape.
The fan i mentioned also shuts off the LEDs shortly after you stop pressing buttons (Breo is the brand i think?) 😁
I could definitely remove a speaker if i wanted to but i have fat fingers and its hard to put things back together again sometimes.
