We are bringing this on a cruise. If I find that the light is too bright could I use masking tape to obscure part of it?

Yes, but I doubt you'll find it too bright. It is a very low light. More of a glow than a light really.
846802
Yes, that would work. While I do not find it too bright at all (maybe half as bright as an iphone screen), I do think that covering part of it with masking tape or (even better) electrical tape would decrease the light output.

Since its cool to the touch, you could apply tape to reduce the amount of light.

My husband put a post-it note over the screen because he thought it was too bright. The light only worked for two weeks and "died" (I will never buy this product again).

From my research, you can, but to use at night the IR will reflect. To get around that you'd have to turn off the IR and also potentially cover with black tape. Then use a LED illuminator like this: http://tinyurl.com/qz457ac

I'd say skip the lense. In order to get a more diffused light, I made a disk of lens tissue slightly larger than the included glass lens, placed it on the inside face of the glass and put the cover back on. This does dim the overall output a bit, but it's very bright, so the diffusion is worth it (for me). It's still painfully bright, do NOT look into these lights, you'll have a blind spot for 20 minutes!

If you find the ice warning light too bright, just put a piece of semi-opaque tape over it to reduce the brightness.

Of course. Just make sure the light is pointed out to whatever is behind you for maximum visibility. You don't want it aimed at an upward or downward position.

Yes you can just to make it light up. Of course your going to need to use the sleeves provided by the manufactorer. With that said, let me be clear in saying that your light will be about 1/3 or 1/2 as bright not using the recommended batteries. Bottom line, this is a very good light but unless your going to use the suggested light then its probably not the one you should get.

You could put duct or electric tape over the lights. You could open the case and cut the leads to the lights. If you use it in a family room/man cave put something in front of it to block the lights.

You don't HAVE to do anything. I did tape all around my light because I wanted to protect the paint around my light. And, if you'd rather use another kind of tape than the one provided, go right ahead. I used the tape provided because it a) was included and, b) because it wouldn't damage the paint around my light.

It would be fine. However, the attachment area needs to be squeaky CLEAN or the tape will not stay attached. Also it will not provide a large amount of light. Good luck.

The most I can offer is this. I've cured loose glitter with an LED lamp gel set before and it slightly "burned" the glitter (or seemed to), but it still worked well enough. For a few cents you could give it a try, but I think it should work fine. If the tape DOES have a reaction with the lamp you can just do a full gel manicure, design something with the tape and cover in regular top coat.If you'd like I can try tomorrow since I have some of these tapes and a gel set.

I don't think so. It's a problem for me, too. I just keep a dark cloth across the front. It's a shame; I do wish there was a way to dim it.

Try a small piece of scotch tape, layer if needed. The tape will diffuse some of the light.

It could be easily taken. If you have a lot of other lights, it would blend in, and not as noticeable.

I love my Choe for charging when I travel...but the light really was too bright in a dark room. I put black tape over mine, and now it's fine. I don't need the feedback from the light - my phone tells me whether it's charging or not.

You shouldn't have a problem. You can use a template to mask off the area you don't want to use

I used a piece of tape. If your tape bleeds too much light, put a piece of foil in between. Easy enough

It shouldn't. However just to make sure you do not break anything in the process its probably easier just to use white out, tape, or cheap nail polish to cover them if you do not like the light. You could even glue a piece of white plastic over it so it doesn't look cheap. Any of that will avoid the possibility of breaking anything.
