They work, but I thought they would be bigger. The whole sheet fits in an envelope. Not a usps mailing envelope, just your standard white envelope. In some cases I had to double them for bright LEDs and I would rather more rectangle stickers, but they work.

These stickers work exactly as advertised and are surprisingly thin, barely noticeable on a black case. Perfect solution for situations when you want a LED dimmed but still see if it's turned on.Best Deals for LightDims Original Strength
I don't know why modern electronics feature such super-bright LEDs, but my room at night has been lit up like a Christmas tree when I'm charging things, making it hard to sleep. Plus some are just downright painful to look at even in the daytime... These lovely little things come in a number of sizes and shapes to accommodate just about anything. The adhesive is maybe a bit lacking (if you get it wrong, you have to replace it very quickly and only get one or two tries before it's completely hopelessly never going to stick again and sometimes it's hard to get it to stay on some things such as protruding LEDs) but you can usually work something out, perhaps by cutting a bit on the sides to get it to fold in more and it will usually stay. Some things I do have to open up and put the LightDims directly on the LEDs because they won't stay on on the outside, but this looks ten times better anyway.Now they just need to make a low strength version for those things that are excessive, but not enough so that these work (for example, the LCD clock in my car is a bit too bright at nighttime, but if I put one of these on it I can't see it at all during the daytime and barely even at night.) They should probably make some in other colors as well. They have a silver, but it might not be a bad idea to have colors like white, red and so on for mobile devices and other things where a black or a silver can stand out and look ugly.
PS. To the person who in a review (I forget if it was here or elsewhere) said they used this on their phone screen, this is a terrible idea. If the screen is too bright, you need to just set the phone to a darker screen and save the battery life. This will make the screen less visible and less clear while burning more battery life to have it bright enough to see through this material... Even my ancient flip dumbphone flip cellphone had a brightness setting.
Honest reviews on LightDims Original Strength
For years now I've been cutting small pieces of tinted window film from a roll that I bought at a hardware store and then painfully applying the film to the LEDs and screens of a variety of electronics.That approach works fine, but I saw these mentioned by someone else who purchased a TiVo, to cover up the bright power and activity lights and thought I would take the lazy route and order them.
As mentioned by others, they are a VERY small sheet, with many of the decals being tiny. They ship in a standard business envelope. The manufacturer should really consider making a "LightDims Jumbo" set for larger devices, such as the screens of larger alarm clocks, etc.
My only real beef with them other than the questionable value offered by a tiny sheet of small stickers is that they are really hard to remove from the plastic backing sheet. I actually nearly ruined a few of them getting them off with my fingernails. Even with tweezers you will potentially twist the edges. A small plastic pull tab would be nice, but would probably add to the cost.
Bottom line, they do what they are supposed to do, and aren't outrageously expensive.
