from the manual:
• Humidifier LED Backlight (Ramp Backlight) - You can enable or disable the LED backlight for the humidifier number
settings and Ramp button on the device.

Yep, I was just rereading that section and found it. But if I could find an elephant mask for it with sunglasses it would be cuter
Morbius, are you bored?

how about sticking a decal sticker - in carbon fiber. You can order a car decal and do cut n paste job onto your machine.

I use this option myself. The cost was amazingly free too.

When I put my mask on it lights up, but by the time I lie down and get adjusted they have turned off by then.

I've been using the silver cap they put on me for my surgery in March.

since that's "out of stock" and the links on the page don't work anymore, probably best to follow the link that granny posted above.

Look up a product called LightDims. My cousin says they are great.

I discovered when traveling recently that my machine fit nicely into the nightstand drawer... no adaptations needed. I stored the mask, hose, etc. along with the machine during the day, and at night I pulled the drawer out partway and then plugged the machine into the outlet on the nightstand lamp.

Oddly, I find that the dragon in the bedroom doesn't bother me. It's barely noticeable on the little table in the corner between the wall and the bed. The hose and mask stand out like a sore thumb, but when it's just me, my close relatives and friends I don't mind. When REAL company comes, (acquaintances, parish priest, etc.) I can put the mask and hose into a little cabinet elsewhere in the bedroom that I store the extra and backup supplies in.

Amazon has them. I'm going to order and pack but should I get original or the black out?

Edit: I got the lights to turn off on my cpap but these will work on the freaking cable boxes, game systems etc. I swear my house is like a christmas tree!
I bought the original ones after I saw the demo photo.

I'm pretty sure I got the originals, and used them on a network switch that's on my desk... used to light up the whole room at night.. NOT ANYMORE! *cackle*

I chose the original ones because often, the lights tell you if something is on or not. They aren't very much. You could buy both.
