the goal is to not make it look too obvious, i know i didn't point that out...
and management won't care, its the preiss co.

we'll prolly just end up doing the tape thing, just didn't want it to be too obvious
a buddy of mine just painted the light cover black on his, thats not really what i had in mind.
and we all have curtains, it just doesn't help when the light is literally right next to the window

Wire in your own photoswitch somewhere inconspicuous. Make it on during the day and off at night.

Or just get blackout shades.

or heavy curtains...less trouble...less property damage (believe me, someone is taking notice of bulbs disappearing)...less thought...
