Appreciate all the tips and suggestions I'm gonna post up my solution here a bit later when I get to fixing it
Help with light leak?

Make a cardboard "baffle" or shield that just blocks the light to the plants. No biggie.
You can get crafty like I did and take it apart & remove the LED from the circuit board.

Yea I thought to but sometimes I need the digital display to adjust and it could become a pain doin that everytime?
Baffle seems more up my alley at this point

What I did was make a box that connects to my dehumidifier and then a 6” pipe connect to that and runs into my tent so I don’t have to have the whole dehumidifier in my tent because they produce heat as well and take up a lot of space so I have my dehumidifier outside the tent and it works great. There was a thread on here about making the box out of a small tote and Bunge cording it to the dehumidifier but I used foam board and aluminum tape to make mine and was easy to work with. Just another idea to ponder. Good luck

Do you have this hooked up to a humidity controller so it reads tent humidity and not outside humidity? Thinking about this as my method didn't really give me the results I was looking for infact I found even more spots light comes out and it's not something I want to even risk.
Also considering the black charcoal filter taped over maybe... just to dull the light some

No I just run it full blast while lights are off and it keeps the humidity down to a good level. I’m sure you could set it on a sensor that would kick it on and off in your set points.

Fwiw Bruce Bugby did some experimentation and his position is that if it’s not bright enough to read by it won’t harm anything. I’ve gone with that and never had an issue. It makes sense given a full moon is going to provide a hell of a lot more light than a single led in a grow room. I don’t think this needs to be dealt with at all. I know others disagree.
My AC Infinity humidifier has a probe into the tent and a snorkel so you can run that into the tent so the machine itself is on the outside. I'm very pleased with it so far. This is the humidifier I'm using:

Bruce is kinda fraudy. I can read under moonlight back home on many nights. Was bright moonlight revegging outdoor crops? No.. And here's why:
Moonlight has more 730nm than 660nm. That's how plants know its night. So, obviously spectrum matters. Seems no one teaching plants has the full picture. Await for Bruce to adjust his position with no address as to why. He does it all the time. Typical government employee. You can theoretically run lights all night with the proper spectrum.
Thank God space is fake or these half assed NASA scientists would have blood on their hands!

I don’t think his comments imply anything is “fraudy”. As generic advice to indoor growers what is easiest to evaluate is level of light. If you know light too dim to read by is fine than you don’t have to worry. It’s more useful to explain it that way than a long explanation about light spectrum. I saw no scientific error in this practical advice. As far as the specific video I believe he was playing with appropriate light spectrum of varying intensity.
You can blame me for the moon comment. As a layman I just don’t know what spectrums are required to trigger flower.

Clear green tape over the display, plants don’t see green, won’t affect the plants.
