Excessively bright LCDs can be very effectively dimmed by covering them 
with brown packing tape - either one or two layers, depending on how 
much it needs to be tamed.

The power light on my Qbic was bright enough to remove the necessity for 
any nightlights in the house and really didn't do much for the viewing 
experience.  (especially as it sits almost right at eye-level)  After 
two layers of packing tape, I still know it's there but it's no longer 
bright enough to raise complaints in the household.

Same went for the HD light and the overly bright-blue power light on my 
printer.
