Inkbird Temp Controller

[burnbluntz12312]

I purchased an Inkbird ITC-308 digital temp. controller and noticed the face is continuously lit. I usually cover or mark black all small lights. Anyone use an Inkbird and have an idea to cover that won't affect the thermostat? Thinking maybe covering with a paper bag?

I'd mount it outside the tent or if you have a big old fancy room sized grow going I'd opt for a cabinet (convert a cheap garage /medicine cabinet into a control cabinet) in place of the brown bag.

I can't find that feature listed for Inkbird or PYmeter temp controllers (backlight control)
Pretty sure it would shine thru brown paper bag, maybe a panda grow bag or heavy gift bag.

The Digiten Temp controllers have a backlight that can be turned off, just for future reference.
Also have a replaceable probes, another reason I bought that over the Inkbird.

I put black electrical tape over the readouts when needed. Once it's set, there's really no reason to look at it assuming you have a secondary thermometer in there on a wireless display.

Love the name. You need an appropriate avatar, lol.

Tinfoil.
You may call it aluminium foil?
Blocks light. You can shape it so you create a little cover you can take off when you want.

I use gaffers' tape for this kind of thing. Black fabric that's good and sticky but designed to be removed without leaving any damage or sticky residue.
