I have a portable speaker that I love, but it has this stupid ring of light at the top that brings in different colors and drives me nuts. Luckily it is able to be turned off. It still drives me mad that I have to turn it off each time, though.

My first PC was cathodes and LED, every device ive ever owne since has been No external lights. if they do ill pull the led and plug the gap or diesel duty a sharpie to dim them pretty good to just ambient level.i feel u
cool
I'm confused a bit by this honestly. Power strips are easy to hide where they are not visible. In their case, an LED is actually preferable to know the state of the power strip and I have several power strips that don't have any LEDs. I also don't think I've ever seen a power strip with a blue LED. None of my charging adapters have LEDs and it's extremely rare for me to find one that does. The default iPhone/Android chargers don't have LED and you can adapt them to work with like 90% of electronics these days because everything just uses USB. If you don't want an digital clock, then don't buy a digital clock? I also searched for a floor fan and 95% of the results appear to have no LEDs.
If LEDs are such a problem, I'd recommend not buying things with LEDs in them? It seems like it's actually difficult to run into the problem you're experiencing.

I'm pretty sure all this "blue light screws up your brain for sleep" is complete hornswaggle nonsense.
I CAN understand why bright light of any color temperature could muck up getting to sleep but I think that's about it.
On taping over bright LEDs that don't need to be there though, that I'm with you on.

You must be buying crap. I have lots and lots of electronic devices, flashlights too and the indicator lights on the vast majority of them aren't as bright as you're saying.
You might have some kind of problem with your eye sight.
