I'll admit, I wasn't watching when the security system people (while building our new house), slipped this keypad into the wall of our bedroom....directly in line with my side of the bed . For about five months now, I have been suffering, and covering my head with a pillow. There are two (bright), green lights on the device ...and no way to turn them off.. Well, I finally got around to solving the problem. Do you see the three little Velcro circles along the top? Love Velcro! Well, I installed them..Which means I peeled them off of a piece of paper and stuck them there.
Then, I cut a piece of vinyl leather like fabric (found it at a fabric store), measured to fit. Final step: attaching the corresponding Velcro circles , and problem solved! Why did I not think of this sooner?! I will only cover it at bedtime...but oh I am so happy....and may just be a whole lot nicer with a proper nights sleep!
Have a great Thursday!
(make that Friday for my friends down under)

Still Thursday for another few hours Janey :) what is that expression.. 'Necessity is the mother of invention' :) you found an excellent solution for your problem!
ReplyDeleteI am like you, I need darkness. Our security device has a little flap down cover but it is in the hallway anyway.
ReplyDeleteyou're too cute. and obviously very sensitive!
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteWow, you must be indeed super sensitive about that! I will get up from the mattress if there is any ticking watch or whatever 'noisy' thing on the bedside table; even on Pieter's side. He used to buy cheap watches for working in the yard and oh my; are those noisy at night! I had to put them out into the bathroom... Guess we both are super sensitive! But I do play it by ear...
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
I've told you this before; you are a clever woman. I need a light at night and use night lights.
ReplyDeleteOh I can imagine that! SC had his cellphone lately put right-up at the head of our bed to have it ringing in the morning. It was like a lamp shining behind me in the face. And those stupid old ticking watches Mariette mentiones I have banned too!
