I'm going to start flowering soon and was wondering if the RED light on my humidafier on the RED light on the powerstrip is something to worrie about .

I would consider it. If your growing indoors you MUST have COMPLETE darkness when flowering, the smallest amount of continuous light such as a light leak or even from a switch could have adverse effects.

ive got a power bar inside my flowering chamber and its fine, if ur worried put a peice of electrical tape on the lights, if u have a larger leak like a door crack or something id look into it, i had a issue with it when i first started out, in the end your plants turn to crap

I think leds are something to eliminate. I put duct tape over them loosely so I can work the power strip switch through the tape.

According to post I have read here you want to block out 98% of light - so it matters how strong your lights are, compared to the tiny amounts from a switch. Those orange lights in switches are neon, and I ignore them. They're not in a wavelength 'visible' to plants. You want to make sure 'grow-light' doesn't leak - that they can 'see' that.
Imagine the light the moon and the stars can produce in nature - and that doesn't throw the plants off - although I have heard reports of people shielding plants from full-moon light. If that has any merit, I don't know.
