    Probably can unplug it. I think you can disable in the front panel options also.

    yep lights are in the front panel settings. On/off colour settings etc
    I don't have them on the flashforge - but love them on the Klic-n-print.
    Why would you want to switch them off ?

    The M146 command can be used to adjust color as well. I have mine set up for red while heating up, White while printing and green when the print is done. It serves no purpose other than amusement.

    For over night printing of long jobs. I have the printer in my bedroom/ home office. That is the main reason. I have a room divider too, but it doesn't really cut down the glow from them. Thank you - like how you can change their colors too!

    Ah... That makes sense. I run mine overnight all the time but I could not take the noise when I was trying to sleep in the same room.

    The M146 command addresses the lights. The RGB values are adjusted from 0 to 255. For example M146 R255 B0 G0 would be a red light and M146 R0 B255 G0 would be blue. If you wanted purple it would be a mix of red and blue such as M146 R225 B225 G0.

    Depending on what slicer you are using you can put the color change sequences at certain intervals such as pre-heat, print and post print.
