The only control is in the "/system leds" menu. If PWR is not there, it means it is hard wired and can't be turned off. New indoor models will have all controlable LEDs, but older models can't have power LED turned off

hi normis...

all i can turn off is the signal strength LED's. what i cannot turn off is the ETH and PWR LED

DynaDish is a new model so there has to be some way. i don't want it attracting attention in the night. please advise.

Dynadish is not a new INDOOR model! Please read carefully what Normis wrote.
The easiest way to turn of LEDs is to stick some black tape over them.
With Ubiquiti it is the same.

hi,

sorry for the mistake. i might have skipped what Normis wrote. Thank you Normis...

in fact SXT and Groove could have all their LED's off by default which was a very good feature.

also the tape idea is what i thought of but i think it won't last on a tower for more than a month.

This depends on the type of tape that you use.
Of course the cheapest insulating tape will come off very quickly.

Tape will not help reducing power consumption ....
