12 volt USB charger socket without LED illumination lights (1 Viewer)

[Toby]

So I've been looking for a good quality 12 volt USB charger socket which doesn't come without any LED illumination lights but I haven't been able to find any so far. So basically something like below but without the LEDs.

The reason I don't want the LEDs is that I want to install it by the bed and I don't want the lights at night while charging our phones.

Thanks!

I can see your point, We have one with the smallest of blue led,,, Shines like a beacon when your in bed and always when you forgot to put some tape over it Then you cant be bothered to get out of bed..

with a single LED you could easily blank out.
"Good Quality" you are living in cloud cook-koo land, all cheap Chinese junk these days just be prepared for the odd one to fail after a few months.

I just use plug ones so they can be instantly swapped when they fail. Having said that, Scosche are a quality American brand, and not failed me yet

I find a small blob of blutack on the led blocks the light completely. They are usually blue leds which apparently is the worst colour for disturbing sleep.

That’s what I’ve installed by my beds. I’ve dripped black on the blue light and it’s still too bright. I did see some that have no light at the Peterborough show but can’t remember who was selling them sorry.

Drill it out
I don't know what's wrong with the standard 3mm low brightness red LEDs that used to be on things as power indicators. A much nicer light, nowadays we have to have a flipping blue torch on anything that's on standby

And agree, everything is blue illuminated these days, which I dislike.

I find the little blue light helps the Mrs get to the loo in the middle of the night...

I wish your Mrs would stop using my loo

0.5mm drill in a Dremel would cure it. And / or black candle wax.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately this one seems only to output 1.5 amps and really would like 2.1 amps for faster charging.

Thanks link. That does indeed look like it doesn't have a LED ... but then only a single port and quite pricey....

I think that one got the LED on the side.

Thanks everyone for your feedback and tips on how to block out the LEDs. Maybe I'll just skip USB charging ports by the bed and instead install it in a cabinet in the kitchen I guess I shouldn't be on the phone all night and morning anyway
