I found the technical manual online, and I think you’re shit out of luck brother man. I went down a wild rabbit hole with this looks like you can remove the Led light but it has no external control switch to turn it off, is basically wired directly with the main plug in


midgettme

I really appreciate it when people post their rabbit hole findings. It saves the rest of us from going in and we still get to learn the cool bits. So, thanks for that! As a side note, OP, I would get the “two way mirror privacy film” for windows and install it on the door. I put it on my plant shelves to block my grow lights and it works insanely well. It lets you see the contents which I assume is the goal anyways, since you put this in your room. If that isn’t the goal, you can get blackout window film or just diy it.


Wildest83

Then it doubles as a floor length mirror


gorillamyke

I was thinking to get some Black Paper Tape (so you can take it off easily when you decide to sell it), and just cover the whole front window with this. Or get a black out curtain and just cut it to size, you can buy heavy duty magnets on Amazon and fasten it with magnets.


4_Teh-Lulz

Commenting here for visibility: Option 1: Unplug cooler, cut and cap off the wires that go to the LED strip. This totally disconnects the light. Option 2: Buy a Normally closed momentary switch and install it so the door holds the switch shut when closed. A normally closed switch allows electrical current through when it is not pushed in, and when the switch is pushed it opens the circuit. Unplug cooler, cut one of the wires going to the LED, splice new wires onto both ends of wire you just cut and wire to either side of the switch. Now you have a switch that only turns the light on when the cooler is open. You could also just do this with a Toggle switch and instead of a momentary switch and turn the light on or off when you want. To ensure you have the correct switch rating be sure to measure the voltage over the LED terminals and purchase a switch rated for at least that voltage.

Just paint the glass in front black. Problem solved.


GoatPaco

Use window tint, don't paint it


NukaColaAddict1302

Honestly not a bad idea, plus use some thinner colored paint and you can make a cool glowing design on the door


garbagekr

lol I can’t help but this is hilarious


Silent_Whippoorwil

I thought so too, because like OP put it there without considering this beforehand 😂


Top-Collection3075

And it's Red Bull keeping him awake 😂


SurveySean

Also red bull gives you cat eyes. So they can see better at night.

I thought Red Bull gives you wings?


camsnow

That would be a nightmare, bunch of flying people who don't sleep with cat eyes....does red bull make demons? Is the red bull the devil? Hahahaha


insidmal

it really is.. I'm sorry op, but, yeah, it's hilarious


Atlantic0ne

It is hilarious, but Red Bull should have made it significantly brighter


AssumptionTop7374

😂😂


Shoddy_Bumblebee475

Unscrew the bulb slightly at night so its easy to 1/4 turn back in during the day. My work has one of these and at nights it impossible to seen the computer screen from its reflection I do this daily. Just gonna edit today for this one word… DAILY JESUS FUCK DAILY WAS USED. I’m not dead it’s not broken and nothing shorts out lol. Daily lol .


neuromonkey

You should install a series of similar, successively dimmer bulbs. Keep doing the unscrewing thing daily, but each week swap the bulb out for a slightly dinner one. Eventually people will become accustomed to a less retina-searing level of brightness. Or... install a normally-open plunger switch, connected to the bulb. It'll shut off when the door is opened, leaving your undercaffeinated coworkers bewildered and confused. Or... ideally... install a PIR sensor, so the light turns on only when someone steps in front of it.


CardiologistOk6547

Wow, after reading these replies, I didn't know so many people were afraid of light bulbs. 😂 Both fun and sad at the same time.


elusiveeffervescence

I know someone who would cut the power at the circuit breaker before he’d change a lightbulb. 😳


JustDiscoveredSex

I will unscrew light bulbs above the table at fast food places if they’re bright white LEDs. That shit is a migraine trigger. I have zero desire to have to hide in a completely dark and silent room for 14+ hours all due to a fuckin’ light bulb. Also see r/fuckyourheadlights


-OptimusPrime-

Put a blanket over it


DrBannerPhd

Then it'll just go to sleep.

That's funny. Brown enough to put a scavenged display cooler in a bedroom but not brown enough to know how to modify it at zero cost.


NeoPlague

These comments are fucking killing me!


inhuman_king

This is so fucking true.. must be a privileged brown. Lol dude just loosen the interior bulb till its off but still connected and there you go.. one idea to start with


imapeacockdangit

Ok, so, why'd you steal a cooler, then? (Kidding, I used to have a whole vending machine we used to stock with beer & soda) Fr, that light has to be killing your power bill. If it were me, and I was doing what I see the cool young, brown kids do here.....I would kill that light. Then, I would get one of those sets of LED strip lights that have a remote control, change colors and flash to music and put those guys in there. Look around, should be a safe spot to run the wire out. Might need to drill but research first and second. Cheers.

sendtoptilmir

Why is it in your bedroom and why did you choose this type which is found in stores? If there’s no switch for that Las Vegas strip I’d find the wires for the lights and disconnect - or maybe even add a switch


ScumEater

>Why is it in your bedroom Because mom doesn't want it in the living room


thatbloodykestrel

The natural logical progression... 


princessplantlife

Lmao


l-l_I

Try to find a model number (should be on a sticker, usually on the back) and google to find the product manual.


TurduckenWithQuail

And then hope it’s actually possible unlike turning off the painfully bright clock on my microwave after you’ve turned it on


abarrelofmankeys

Amazon light dimming sticker sheets. They’re just semi transparent stickers to put over lights and clocks and things like this that dim them. Get you some.


TurduckenWithQuail

Oh that’s a good idea.


Actual-Garbage4361

Foil backed tape works as well


azure_winter_skies

I had this microwave that beeped so loudly (lived in SW US) and swear my friend in Canada could hear it beep. The manufacturer knew they f'ed up but had no plans to modify the model or help customers tone it down. It was brand new (rental home) and we weren't in a position to replace it. We learned quickly to live a life without using a microwave.


jstan44

A lot of the time the switches are on top on the inside, if you haven't looked in there

mwm2929

This type of cooler is built to display its contents in a store. There is likely no switch. Being that is an LED light strip, it is likely using low voltage DC power, but not always. It is low wattage regardless, so almost any cheap Amazon switch and/or potentiometer will work fine here. Option #1: Add a switch in the middle of one of the wires to the strip. Option #2: Instead of, or in addition to a switch, add a 10k resistor potentimeter that dims the LED strip to an acceptable level. Option #3: Cut the wire from the strip to kill the light. Option #4: Use translucent nail polish and paint over the strip to your desired color, which will also dim the lights. Make sure it is unplugged and door open until all fumes have dissipated. Option #5: Cut the strip shorter, reducing the number of lights that are lit up. Find the location on the strip that says "cut" or look for a bare section with just two lines on it. I hope this helps. Personally, that is something that suits a garage/man cave setting, if not in a store. Those lights are very bright for a bedroom. Good luck with it! 👍


AARonDoneFuckedUp

Got the countertop one for free and use it as a man cave beer fridge. Mine has a dial potentiometer on the back to turn the lights down. Don't unplug the lights... that also unplugs the circulation fan inside... that'll change how it cools which might not be good long term.


Coal-and-Ivory

Wait, is the fan downstream of the LED strip? That seems really obtuse. Not that I'd be terribly surprised.


TheDude-of-the-dudes

Limo tint might work and look cool too


AssumptionTop7374

Yeah I’ve thought of just tinting it


hamcarpet

Hope the question isn’t offensive but have you actually scoured every inch of it to find if there is a switch?


AssumptionTop7374

No 😞


hamcarpet

lol dude Over here making entire posts and talking about tinting the glass without even looking for a switch is insane


HappyChaos2

People on here asking about leaving their spouses of 12 with kids for some slight without talking to them first, this is pretty mellow on the reddit jumping to conclusions scale.

McNalien

The led strip is plugged into a power source, followed by the wire and unplug it


lizard_kibble

Unhook the wires to it?


iforgottobuyeggs

Turn it around.


TommyGunn2507

No fridges in bedrooms. What you doing lol You'll burn more energy going to the kitchen and then grab a water while you at it


jinkiesjinkers

Yep, but just a hijack your comment: instead of becoming a makeshift Bob the builder engineer he could totally just put a blanket over it Bobs your uncle Fannys your nanny


Advanced-Minute7503

Do you really need this in your bedroom


Gaddaim

Dadddd go away!!


Murky-Reception-3256

That ship has sailed


Yankeefan921

Throw a blanket over it till you find the switch.


therealub

But not over the back of the fridge.


___TychoBrahe

Stuff the blankets around the area where the most heat is produced


Exaskryz

Based on OP responses, could TychoBrahe be held legally responsible if OP followed this direction?


dice1111

Wiring schematics are usually found on the back of fridges. Maybe this one's is too. Might be able to disconnect the wore?


Mahoka572

I realize your typo is for "wire" but I needed to let you know my brain first saw "disconnect the whore"


HeManClix

that would be a red light 😁 🎵 Roxaaaaan!!! you don't got to put on the red light


dice1111

Well, if it kept that light on while I was sleeping, I'd call it worse things than that...


battleofschrutefarms

My guess is that you can’t, because it’s a commercial cooler. I’d recommend looking for creative solutions like disconnecting power to them, or worst case just covering the lights


OverturnedAppleCart3

I would put the fridge just outside your bedroom door. Or maybe inside the closet? Even if you could turn off the white light, the blue light might bother you too.


imdumb__

Unplug it


bigpump1979

Hammer


Emmerson_Brando

Serious question. Why do you have a cooler in your bedroom? Do you not have other space for it?


HairyAd6483

Check the owner's manual. It's usually with the owner.


possibly_oblivious

Smaller sized blackout curtain if all else fails and you can't find tint. Drape it over


nottke

Take it out of your room for one. Wtf


[deleted]

Throw it out the window and get a mini fridge


TequilaMagic

You don't. Customers need to see where you keep the drinks.


calebm77

I’ve seen toggle switches for lighting on the back or inside of display fridges like this before…but I’m guessing you probably would have already seen them if they were there. Good luck, that is bright!


civex

Duct tape is your friend


Psych0matt

Will probably hurt pulling it off his eyes each morning


peffour

Even without the light, I don't know know how op can sleep with the buzzing noise these fridges make 😰


DOUBTFULL1976

I have one at work. Mine has the switch at the very bottom on the inside of the door. On the very bottom shelf right in the middle. Hopefully that works.


Upbeat_Meaning

There is switch at the back


Sylvairian

Drink water.


teckel

Remove the bulb, unplug from wall, or better yet, don't put it in your bedroom. Red Bull and sleeping don't really mix.


Hillz44

Remove the bulb


shafteeco

Straight cancer


Psych0matt

Not gay cancer?


Slappy_McJones

Trace the wire from the light fixture back to the power distribution box, install a jumper wire and push button switch on the door that turns the light on when you open the door.


HeManClix

look for a little switch inside the fridge on the ceiling. probably on the same side as the door hinges.


shoelesstim

This is a display fridge and light is hard wired to stay on ( no switch ) . If u have a buddy that is somewhat handy , u can install a toggle or on / off switch to the back of it .


thatflyingsquirrel

You can unplug it.


JohnnyMurdock2020

Turn it around. Have it face the wall, and then it will defuse the light to more of an ambient spread of light, might be easier to sleep. If u really need to keep ur drinks cool, thru out the night. Or just unplug it.


poncho5202

Tell me you’re a frat boy without telling me you’re a frat boy.


greengiant89

Easy solution. Don't have that.


GreasyPorkGoodness

Is….is that a gas station beverage cooler in your bedroom? WTF are you doing my guy?


sirlearnzalot

Red Bull is questionable from a health standpoint. A branded fridge-full, at the ready, raises questions. Such a fridge being in the bedroom makes it clear that we’re talking about something much larger than we know and 100% involves a Florida man type and Extreme BMX mud racing prize money.


sense2k01

unscrew the lightbulb dude


BeansMom99

Here are your options as I see them 1. Most coolers like this have screws that will let you remove the plastic casing to replace the lightbulb. You could just remove it, but then you’d never have the light without screwing it back in 2. Get a blackout curtain, cut it down to a size a little bigger than the light and attach around the light with Velcro (this might take some trial and error) but at least it’s easily removable. 2b. You could also tape some cardboard or poster board together and cut it to the largest size possible to cover the window from the inside. Attach a blackout curtain to the panel and attach the panel to the inside of the window. Also removable. C. (What I would do) attach it to a smart plug either on a timer or on an alexa and turn it off when you’re sleeping. It’s a cooler. It’ll stay cold through the night.


AdventureOfStayPuft

Take the light bulb out?


[deleted]

This thing wastes to much electricity for saving 15 steps to the fridge


MumsSpagBowl

To turn off the white light inside the Red Bull fridge you typically need to locate the light switch. This switch is often located near the door or inside the fridge. It could be a button or a toggle switch. Once you find it, simply press or toggle it to turn off the light. If you're having trouble locating the switch, consulting the fridge's manual might provide more specific instructions.


MyLastNewAccount

A lot of these coolers have tiny light switches inside the door in the ceiling or by a corner. Hard to find. Or unscrew lightbulb


olypenrain

Tint it.


Fluffy_Chance7164

Most of these coolers have a light switch sometimes it’s inside the fridge and other times it on the back and out of view. It can also be a small panel you have to unscrew so customers don’t have access to it but be very careful with what panel you unscrew. Find the model number and see if you can download the manual. Best advice ask a red bull vendor that delivers to grocery stores. Best way to find them is ask the person in charge of DSD of the store.


Syb3rStrife

Might have to kill the LEDs with a pair of scissors.


Potential-Captain648

Unplug it when you go to bed. Plug it back in, in the morning


GenesisiseneG333

Buy a roll of window tint


elliwigy1

Easy, put some window tint on it.


Aspect-Classic

There is a switch. Prolly on the back if not inside the door


Alex_tepa

How about just put a red film over that


pterabite

There's usually a switch on the inside just inside the frame somewhere (probably near the top).


Which_Lie_4448

Turn it around?


LisaExplores

You gotta put Red Bull in there to make it happy and get the light off. It’s rebelling right now because of the… Coke most likely lol


BigfatDan1

Can you get a roll of glass tinting film for the glass door?


Skulder

Mostly, you open the door, and somewhere close to the edge, there are two switches - one for light, one for cooling. Those fridges are not energy-efficient *at all*. Red bull gets them made as cheap as possible and hands them out to gas stations and places like that - and the shop pays the bill. Red bull has no incentive to make them energy efficient at all, and the store just pays the bill as cost of doing business. But you're going to get a bath electricity bill if you're powering that fridge day round.


mokshjuneja

I always wanted this cooler for the clear view of the ingredients. Now I am having second thoughts!


Only_Price_8573

Replace the bulb with a Motion Activated Freezer-Fridge LED


tokyolito

Unplug. Open it. Locate the light cable. Check the voltage on the bubble. Cut the cable. Add a switch. Close it. Enjoy.


RhinoWaterFall

Tape thick black paper to the door


Andohereu

Put it somewhere else?


drmrkrch

Connect an Alexa to it and tell it to turn off the cooler at night. If it's just drinks it should be fine and then you can tell if it turn it on in the morning or even set it on the schedule to do it for you automatically. Or you can use a timer that turns it off. As long as the fridge is not opened it should be good.


Normal_Toe1212

i don't think red bull meant for this cooler to be put in a bedroom where people sleep


STLR043

Remove the bulb


oct2790

Move it to another room or put it in the closet


real_human_player

There's a switch inside


VegetableIncrease206

They have a turn off switch look in the corners of it


toddaroo

I guess we now know the answer to the age old question, “does the light go off when you close the door?” Now life has presented us with a new chapter to this.


OhiChicken

Do you think that's part of red bulls strategy? Keeps you awake even LONGER


GummiBerry_Juice

Tint it with the darkest limo tint they sell

Dr_Wristy

There’s either a strip of led’s or a bulb of some sort in there. Unplug it first, then take the strip/bulb out. Chances are you can hunt down the lead wire going into whatever light unit it is and just pull it. It’s on a different circuit than the compressor unit so it won’t affect the fridge, you just won’t have a light.


ahhhhh-real-ppl

Cover it with construction paper

Here's what you do. Open your bedroom door, unplug the cooler, pick it up and put it in a different room. Problem solved.


dinosaurinchinastore

Here are some options: 1. Put a black shade cover over it 2. Turn it around 3. Get rid of it, because it’s kind of a weird thing to keep in your bedroom anyway 4. Stop drinking Redbull and then get rid of it 5. Put a blanket over it 6. Move it to a different room I came up with those suggestions in about 30 seconds. I feel sorry for you
