I want to use it near my bed, in the dark. Does the speaker have a bright LED light? Does it flash? If so, can it be easily covered?

The speaker has a tiny light which flashes alongside the power button. In my opinion, this light shouldn't bother you if you point it away from you. If it does bother you, you can easily cover it.

It has a small blue LED that would be pretty easy to cover. I don't think that you'll have a problem in that respect.

yes,it has a flashing led, green and blue ,but they are not bright and very tiny,you could turn the unit around so it does not face you or you could cover it.

I installed the unit on a boat and sold the bolt a short time later. From what I remember, it did have a shallow alarm but I never used it at night so I am not sure about it being lighted. Hope this helps some.

I don't think it is very bright. It casts a blue light. We haven't figured out how to get it to work when it is plugged in. I wouldn't buy it if I knew how it really works.

Yes it does have a light at the top. I would not recommend placing it near your bed.

The charging light is very small and not bright. It does not flash. I have the charger next to my keyboard, can see the light change from red to green when I put my cellphone on the charger. I only use the charger during the day, I am sure that the light would be much more visible in a dark room.

Hi! Sorry, this went to my junk file :( I LOVE this speaker!!! It charges up quickly and the speaker works really really well. I charged it in the sun a few days ago and it still has a full charge. It plays inside, in the dark, anywhere as long as it has a charge. There is a small light that is blue when there is a charge and red when it needs a re-charge. You can't go wrong with this thing :)

It IS bright, but it is designed to be an area light. There arendifusers over the panel LEDs, so you are not going to see far away with it, but an individual panel is plenty for a trudge to the (outdoor) bathroom. It won't replace your flashlight, but you'll love not needing to use a flashlight to do anything around the campsite.

It is bright in the sense that you can see where you are going in the dark. It is not bright enough to read by and the light is diffuse, so it is not blinding. I have several around the house and never turn on a light late at night unless I need to retrieve something from the pantry or read something.

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.

It's pretty bright. We're using it on the side of the house with the motion sensor on to light the area when we take out the trash. It's more than sufficient for that. It's also a fairly convincing "gotcha" for unwelcome visitors.

Its good for outside use. I like the brightness, having a built-in speaker also is a plus.

Yes, the lights can be turned off and you can still use the speaker for sound without the lights. It's a really nice speaker and has a great sound!

No, it has option to have it be low or high brightness. I use it in my toddlers room on low. I do have it plugged in behind a glider to block some light though.

The LED in the front is pretty damn bright by itself as you can see in the pic taken at broad daylight (ignore my horrible cable management). https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/t1.0-9/1538672_10153763557600501_1188223533_n.jpg HOWEVER, once the case is closed, because of the double layer black meshing in the front, the brightness is reduced to a soothing blue. Even at night you can't see it with your eyes closed pressed against the case. lol

I would not recommend it in a room that is not dark. The LED is good, but it is does not do well in a lit room.

It's bright enough to see easily during the day, so I expect it would very bright at night. They've removed the flashing feature due to customer feedback so it remains on steadily when your device is on the pad. "Customizing" it with black tape should solve any night time issues.

It IS bright. Personally I do not suffer/care, because the box is strategically located in the kitchen, where all mobile devices meet... As an additional bonus, it creates ambient lighting there during nighttime. But for those putting it in the bedroom this might be a challenge...
