It seems like everyone has run into this in one way or another. We put AP's in the apartment style dorms and in the suite style dorms and had complaints about the lights. It was easy enough to turn them off. In a few locations, not dorms, that are normally dark like our theater or performing halls, we turned them of as well.
The simple accommodation has not caused us any real issues. We had a few reports of "no wifi" when new students arrived, but those were easy to take care of.

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?
