blue and green blocking filter advice?

fmj13 · Post by **fmj13** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 5:33 am

I am finally going to get red filters for the 3 light sources in my bedroom that continue to light up after the regular lights are off. The first, my Gear4 clock should be easy, but the other 2 I'm not sure about.

One is my air purifier and the light is not flat, but is half a centimeter tall and is shaped like the sharp part of an egg.

The other is my S9 Vpap - I don't just want to use scotch tape to tape a filter because I am worried about damaging it in some way.

Any advice?

Make an 'X" out of toothpicks, put it over the filter and tape the ends of the X to the machine.

The machine has a light that shines through the filter?

I'm completely confused - how is taping a filter going to cut out light? My S9 APAP goes dark after 30 seconds

Glow-in-the-dark filters?

Try wrapping with red cellophane from a craft store or Christmas wrapping. Tape in place or use tiny silicone rubber band(little girls hair). I find them very useful, also the larger thicker silicone bands which work well to guide hose or to keep hose cover in place if Velcro comes loose.

I just used black tape for things like the humidier.

every s9 that I've ever seen goes completely dark after a few seconds of use.

there's also these, I've used them, and they're really neat (like most things on the cool tools site: http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/22154

Wow, what a bunch of great looking stuff! Now all I have to do is figure out how to window shop without buying anything!

You got me too palerider, I am just about out of the very old black stickers I used in the past to write protect floppy disks. Have also used granddaughters' tiny stickers. Nice to have an alligator covering the flashing light on a Bluetooth headphone! Thanks for the link.

the neat thing about the lightdims is you can still see if the light is on, but it doesn't shine anymore. I have a network switch in my bedroom and all the little green leds on that would light up one wall, now with the lightdims over it, I can still see the indicators, but they don't light things up anymore

No, it is air vitalizer (a negative ion producer) and it has a light on it, it is hard to see in this picture, it looks like a little bump on the right.

Since I bought the air vitalizer my sinuses are so much better, I used to have to go months without cpap during the winter due to congestion.

You say that based on what exactly?

Stuff is hilarious.. Pseudoscience. Try to find the device in a medical office, pharmacy or other normal medical supply site outside of off the wall self-promoting websites with circular references to how it works.

Hopefully you didn't pay to much for it.
