Safely covering a light
Just installed some new moonlights for nighttime viewing in a couple of my BP cages. They're producing a bit more light than I'd like, so I was hoping to cover part of them.
For a fish tank or something, I'd just use some black electrical tape, but since these are BP enclosures, tape is a no-no.
Any ideas on what I should use?
Was thinking paint of some kind, but don't know what would be thick enough to block light while still being non-toxic and resistant to humidity/moisture.
Don't think a dimmer is an option for these types of LEDs, and not sure that would give me the desired effect anyway.
As always, thanks!

Not to bump but it's too late to edit and I had a thought:
Black nail polish? Obviously it smells toxic but I think it'd be fine after it dried, no?

Acrylic paint is fine if you give it about 3 days to cure out.

Hmm.. Not sure that'd be an option as the lights are already screwed into the cages. Anything else where I wouldn't have to remove them?

I don't know of anything I would use and leave a snake it there.
