All the CECB's i see have lights that change color when on or off. blue for on, red for off, green for on, amber/red for off. it is designed to allow the user to know it's plugged in and in 'standby' mode. i really don't have trouble sleeping with it on the red/amber as it's so soft glowing, but green/bright digital blue (what is it with all new stuff having bright blue power lights?) keeps me awake. looks like HAL 9000 is staring at me or something.[/QUOTE]
