Annoying humidifier light

Looking for some recommendations on humidifiers. I’ve purchased 2 different humidifiers that have this annoying blue light illuminating from the bottom of them. Virtually impossible to use the darn things at night, no issue during the day. I’m currently 3 weeks into flower and my RH drops to about 38-39% at night. This only happens the night before they require feeding in the morning. Other than that the RH really isn’t a problem. But I’m stuck with the low RH till the morning because I don’t want the light leaks from that stupid blue light lighting up the entire bottom portion of my tent.

Any suggestions for a humidifier without those lights on them?

I opened mine and put black silicone on the little led bulbs put it together no problems

Tin foil blocks light, though without seeing the unit I couldn't say if you should cover the bottom

I had the same issue. Bought/returned 4 to Amazon before I landed on this guy. Not as big as some, but lasts about 16h on the "low" setting and keeps my 4X8 with 10 plants at about 60% for 24h.

That’s funny CptTripps, cause that’s exactly the one I was gonna get, but opted for the cheaper one instead. I guess the saying is true, u get what u pay for. I think I’m gonna have to stick with the foil technique for now cause with this darn virus running rampant, I don’t want to bring anything into my house. Thanks for the tips guys, much appreciated.

I only have a 16 square foot space and bought what the ole captain ordered. Since I am in high 50's RH at night, but as low as 38 during lights on, I am going to run this as low as possible during veg only when my lights are on using a timer. Thoughts?

50s for veg should be fine i usually keep it in 55/65 for veg flower 45/55 duck fan play’s a big part to much air flow you take humidity out fast to little builds to much humility and heat

I really like my TaoTronics Cool Mister. It has a digital function for setting RH, makes no sound and pumps out like a champ. You can also turn the screen light off but it's not bright to begin with.

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks! Keeping as constant a 60% as possible in veg is what I need!

Make sure you have a separate RH/Temp reader. I keep mine on about 50% RH but my room is at 60 anyway.

Is the blue light there for a reason? Like is it a UV light to keep things from growing in the moist environment?

One could always open the unit up and simply cut one of the wires feeding the LED light. Just make sure the cut wire wont short out on anything.

I don't think it has a UV light, I think it's just the night light and the screen display is lit up. The thing in the tank is part of the ultrasonic system I believe. The only thing they say that is lit up with the screen off and night light off is a green light that indicates sleep mode that I'm going to put electrical tape on and go from there.

Will do, I have an exhaust fan controller that can be set to humidty or temp with a temp gauge and a hanging thermohygrometer. Hopefully I can get this stuff figured out. It's been decades man!

If you will use the humidifier on an external controller you need to make sure it has the "auto restart after power outage" feature.

I was looking at that too, I initially was going to get the analog one for that reason, apparently this unit shuts on and off once it reaches the desired humidity range so it may not be necessary to put it on a timer for me, as at night it gets to about 60, but thank you for mentioning that because I didn't research it for fans.
