I was sent a message asking what do I do to keep the lights from being to bright at night.
I have a few different things I use to soften the brightness of a room at night. I have a corner in the main area of the house with two tall machines. I bought a few of the Tri-Fold Foam Poster Boards (comes in white or black, I bought black). I placed these behind my units. It works great because it also covers/blocks the sides. I then got some black fabric and sewed the seams to keep it nice looking. Using Binder Clips, I clip the fabric to the tops of the poster board to cover the plants at night. I just unclip in the morning so you can see the plants. I also sewed some "curtains" or straight panels to cover the shelves they are on. It does not look bad at all.
Note, depending on the machine I have cut the board to size. I keep the board full size for the Tall machines. I lower the board behind the stand the unit is on and lift it as I lift the hood (most of the time).
For my smaller machine, I cut the foam board in half and use one in the back and one in front at night. This works well in the spare bedroom. In the morning you will get some light but not enough to wake anyone up.
I do not cover the one in the Kitchen. I have also thought about turning the one closet into a AG Closet to close the door at night.
With that said do you do anything to lessen the lights in your home?

. I also don't really need an alarm clock.
