Are the lights obtrusive in a bedroom at night? It will be facing my bed so will I be starting a bright lights all night? Can you turn the lights off?

Personally, I find ANY lights obtrusive in the bedroom. I have installed this unit in a high school nurse's office but do remember several lights that I don't think can be turned off. But it is a good unit - very capable. I would recommend making a couple of flaps out of card stock and fasten them to the unit with electrical tape as a hinge. The card stock can be lowered over the LEDs at night and lifted when you wish.

I like the bedroom very dark, and the lights were a bit bright. No wway to turn them off, but black electrical tape works wonders. I have 2 of these units, and knew that this could be an issue before I bought. Highly recommend this model due to its functionality, Apply electrical tape as needed.

You can turn the light off with a switch located on the base. The fan has a button to turn it off and on and the fan and light work independent from each other. I've got two I use for both of our laptops and they are a valuable accessory. The light is bright enough for me to do work at night without all the lights on in my house. It's worth every penny it costs. I velcro mine to my desktop to avoid knocking it over but that's not a necessity. I'm just clumsy and don't want to break it.

No dimming that I know of. I would say that it would probably be too bright for a bedroom.

Well, I tried it out in my bedroom but had to turn the lights off to see it clearly. And we have to wait until the sun goes down to use it outside. So I would say no.

No, usually turn it off when I go to bed but there is a smaller light in the room so its not pitch black. Don't turn the light on until I get home from work at 5 or 6.

There are no lights except the tiny on/off buttom. If it is by your bedside, just turn it around.

Yes, the switch glows (probably an LED) when it is OFF so you can find it in the dark. Not very bright but not sure how to quantify that. Bright enough to help you find the switch but not so bright that it would bother me in my bedroom.

I might add that they are bright enough that if you have a seating area that is below cabinet height (my living room is next to the kitchen), looking directly at the bulbs may not be comfortable. I put mine in a track with a plastic cover to make them look more decorative and to soften the light from the individual bulbs. If you never get below cabinet height, it isn't an issue though. To me they are bright enough to work on the counter (as long as ambient kitchen light is available) at maximum setting, but they aren't halogen bright for sure. At their dimmest they make a soft night light for late night runs to the kitchen.

There are lights and an LCD display at the top. They don't look bright but I only sue mine during the day. I'd the lights are too bright they could easily be covered with black tape but I don't think they'd be a problem unless you like a pitch black room.

You can't turn off the lights its hardwired into the power of the fan, but to be honest the lights really aren't even noticable. The change brightness with the amount of power that's being supplied, so for example at lower RPMs the ligjts will be dimmer. But other wise the only way they turn off is if you turn off your computer or put it to sleep.

My unit dims pretty well, It doesnt bother me at night, however, its not OEM dim. You can also turn off the screen if its that troubling

They will be bright enough. Some people experience a humming sound with them, but I haven't had that problem. The biggest problem is that it's difficult, at times, to connect to the lights. This is particularly bothersome when you're trying to turn them off at night.

No AM. the only complaint I ahve is that the light is way to bright for the bedroom at night.

It might be, mine is in the kitchen w/a nightlight. It works great though. I have multiple things in my bedroom that have I indicator lights and I just put some dark nail polish on them, you can still see it glow but it is not bright enough to bother sleeping

I believe you can turn if off using the pin they provide you with to initially turn it on. To turn it ON you insert the pin in a small hole till it clicks. This is the ON position. Using the same pin you reinsert the pin into a different hole till you hear a click and it is OFF. The "holes" are marked ON/OFF and are easily found. Putting it in OFF disables the light. If you enable it again by turning it ON with the pin/hole it remains very dim at night. There is no simple switch to turn it on/off as the light seems it was designed to be on most of the time.

Hi there, out of the box they are not dimable. I bought a cord with a dimmer switch and pluged the lights into it. Now it works like a charm, I can dim them down really low at night now or really bright depending on the mood.

Ours is in a dim hallway with no direct natural light, and it is off during the day. It only comes on at night when none of the bedroom lights are on and the hall is dark. It does exactly what we wanted it to do.
