I have set up my darkroom, and one of the outlets in there, closest to the enlarger/work area, and slightly above waist-level height, is the first in its circuit, so it is a GFCI outlet protecting the rest of the outlets downstream. My issue is it has an indicator light which is always on. Fairly faint, but is very noticeable when all other lights are out. Putting electrical tape over it does not extinguish it. I have a couple of options to deal with it, such as installing a GFCI breaker (least favorite option), putting some other cover over it (probably over most/all of the outlet as it also shines through the receptacle holes) or replacing it with a GFCI outlet that does not have an indicator light. This would be my preferred option, but I can’t seem to find one without an indicator light. I’d be interested to hear if anyone has sourced one, or if there is another solution that is as easy as my last 2 options, one of which will likely be implemented. I plan to keep the GFCI in place and the entire circuit protected.
