How to glue the LED?

Question

Do it yourself

There has already been such a question , but let's imagine a situation: an LED is needed, and it is impossible to completely turn it off / seal it!

The black marker does not work, the diode is so evil, and it is erased quickly.
Black 3M electrical tape seals it completely. The cheaper ones don't hold up.

What are the options?

Answer 1

brown packing tape

, if necessary, in several layers
, or solder the resistor in series with the LED

Answer 2

Sliding shutter for the camera.
It is Velcro glued to the camera or anywhere.
It is necessary to look at the current status - opened and looked.

Answer 3

Turn off LED power

Answer 4

The LED is most quickly removed from the motherboard with two conductors and fixed on the front panel with a latch or glued with a glue gun.
Disconnect and lead deep into the case.
At the same time, an opaque cap can be put on the LED itself as an option.

Answer 5

I went to joke about covering the LED with something brown.
For example, plasticine. With a toothpick, you can make a hole for visual control.
There is also a "Stroke".

Answer 6

The varnish used to paint the taillights of cars so they look black when they're not lit, but let the light through when they're on.

Answer 7

A layer of corrector from a brush jar > black marker > corrector again > marker again. The corrector itself is opaque, it alone may be enough. At the end, cover the layered cake with clear nail polish or the color of the body. This is so that it doesn't get erased. In the corrector, you can dig a hole of the desired size, if the indication is still needed. You can fill it with a layer of PVA on top, if the case allows, then there will be a scattering / haze effect and additionally give resistance to abrasion.
