Is painter's tape enough to black out an annoying-ass LED light?

My workplace has a group of electric fixtures right near me, and one has a soul-piercing bright indicator light on it. Boss said it was fine to cover up, but all I had was packing tape and a folded-over sheet of paper to cover it. I want something more durable and effective.

I've also heard electrical tape can be used, but would it totally block out the light? Help me here /diy/.

yes

Alright, thanks.

All I want is a piece of tape covering the whole light and blocking it out entirely, I shouldn't have to stick shit under it too.

It will dim it, but not block it all the way out
The blue painters tape will last longer than electrical tape

I have blue tape on my router, I can still see the indicator lights if I want to but its not piercing anymore.

Foil tape will block 100% of the photons.

it would have to be pretty darn bright to shine through electrical tape

if it does, add another piece

Get some aluminium foil thats used for cooking or the ones you find in chocolate wrappers, cut a small piece that fits over the leds and put any tape on it to hold it in place.

I use multiple strips of painters tape on my phone, works out okay. Like others said, a single piece just dims it
