However after a while it became annoying to try to peel the small stickers off the backing, then fumble to center a small sticky thing over the offending LED.
so... I use painters tape. I started with the blue kind, but switched to black. Easy to tear or cut, easy to size. electrical tape isn't sticky enough.
I choose an appropriate number of layers for the problem.
Most lights just need one layer. Sometimes I need to kill the LED directionality to be acceptable. And some indicator lights need to be dim, not off. Think an HDMI switcher where you need to know which port is active, or router port activity lights.
Sometimes I put a second layer when I need less or no light.
