After going through several rooms and finding tape, post-it notes and other similar things on the APs covering the LEDs we went ahead and disabled the LEDs on all residence hall APs. No problems, except for the occasional time you forget where you are and look up and think the AP is down because there is no LED indicator.

Curious if others have gone down this road in Residence Halls. We're not really being asked to, but are considering wholesale disabling LEDs on our Cisco APs in the dorms as a quality of life step. Has this caused anyone any pain when it comes to not being able to see the colors on the AP as status indication? Have you actually had requests to disable the LEDs? Overall experience with accommodating or denying the request?
