    Well I'm not sure about the power light, but the wireless light can be shut off by sliding the wireless thing to the left to the off position.

    Wireless - switch

    Power - No way, except if you cover it. Or if you are real serious bout it, you can take a highlighter / cokiepen and CAREFULLY mark the light. Ive seen some guys do it, and it worked. For starters maybe use 'removable' ink just so u can first have a look before putting on permanent.

    Hope it helps! :)

    I find the lights soothing, and not overly bright or disturbing (but then brightness is a subjective matter).

    Of all the suggestions so far I think the tape idea would be the best method, since it can be undone (unlike the pen/marker idea). I think masking tape might be overkill (something less adhesive might be a better idea for the paint and finish of the system).
