I’ve had a lot of success by keeping a completely blank Home Screen. I read most of Digitial Minimalism and it helped me reframe what I should keep. The book’s intense with what one should considers necessary, but I found a good balance and mostly rely on the App Library search bar and widgets (on iOS).
It’s crazy how badly our brains want to get rid of “the shiny red dots”.

brod Link ParentYeah it’s so weird how the manual barely mentions these things. Oh well - finding the manual counts as a win for me!Yeah it’s so weird how the manual barely mentions these things. Oh well - finding the manual counts as a win for me!

brod (edited )Link ParentWow! @smithsonian - you absolutely rock! I’ve looked at a couple hundred lights across Lowe’s, HD, Amazon, eBay, and Temu and had mostly given up. They do simply look to be accents. @Jambo -...Wow! @smithsonian - you absolutely rock! I’ve looked at a couple hundred lights across Lowe’s, HD, Amazon, eBay, and Temu and had mostly given up.
They do simply look to be accents.
@Jambo - Weirdly, we have a couple of these throughout the home and this is the only set where the LEDs are visibly on, so it’s unclear what made these suddenly function. The blue light they emit is pretty obvious, so I don’t think it’s the case that we just never noticed.
Either way - Mystery solved.

This is one of those bizarre examples where I think a simple Google would solve the mystery, but I've tried dozens of searches like "halogen track lights with LEDs in center" and NO product comes...
This is one of those bizarre examples where I think a simple Google would solve the mystery, but I've tried dozens of searches like "halogen track lights with LEDs in center" and NO product comes up with it. Does anyone know what these are?? My guess is that it has to do with one of the lights being out, but why so many LEDs then?

Also a recent Bitwarden convert. Agree to all that was said above but I was also pleasantly surprised at how easy they make it to import from a previous password manager. I came from last pass and it only took a couple minutes, and little to no friction.
