Reduce front LED brightness

Please is there a way to reduce front led brightness?
It’s disturbing mainly during charging at night!
Thank you

I’m not sure how to do that, but a good place to start might be an old post thread with some info and links: A way to disable blinking red led? - #3 by gondolyr and later in the same A way to disable blinking red led? - #8 by dos and so on.

Thank you!
I’m trying to modify ascii file /sys/class/leds/rgb:status/max_brightness
It’s set 248 so, as test, I’m trying 128 modifying it using nano but I receive message impossible to modify it although I’m using sudo!!!
That’s incredible! I thought sudo wins on everything!!m Why happening it?

Physically impossible?

Some things in /sys/class are readonly. None of them are regular files. They are part of the device tree.

Random observation: Because things in /sys may not be regular files, using nano is probably a bad idea. If the file is writeable at all i.e. not read-only, echo newvalue | sudo tee /path is generally good (where you replace newvalue and /path with appropriate things).

No wonder I got a new “like” on my reply from 2022 that said to use a sliver of electrician’s tape.

Sometimes the simplest solutions are too obvious :slight_smile:

AI suggested me special tapes (to cut and/or already shaped) that reduce 50->80% brightness :grin:
Thank you anyway :folded_hands:
