In our last van we had a light that glowed. At night this was too bright I used to cover with a tea towel.
In our caravan now there is a lit on the control panel near the door that is very bright also have a light that flashes every 60 seconds and another that flicks on and off. This is so annoying .it shines in my eyes. I do stick a post card over the light with blue tac. But I can still see the lights that flash.
Is it me . Do others mind these. Why are they in a place that they shine in your eyes.
I think I did look at swift caravans and they are in a better area.

Hi Nora, it's funny that its the little things in life that so impress or really grind one's gears. We have a similar light on the control panel but have just got used to it. They are there for indication purposes only so feel free to block them out at night if they bother you, I thing the flashing one would me.

Our fridge light is bright and i think its great when you go to the loo as it saves turning a light on.If it annoys you buy one of these.

I love it what a good idea.
I do agree about having to get up and not turn the light on.
