Re licquorice

Yes that seems  the case on the Optical Network Terminal 

which i find strange becasue you can adjust light& place on & off on My FTTP Router 2.0 through the HUb Manger on a timer  

i have had the ONT Terminal fitted into a Bedroom & the light on at Night i find Quite Intrusive i have had Discussion with BT with a deaf ears approach i have asked if any new type unit comes avaible Would I  be available to have installed   But they have Told me that even if a  new Design   unit comes available YOU  have to keep what you have  take it or Leave it approach not the Answer i really want to hear< Not when they place on Recored Message award winning customer service !!!!!!!!!!

Is it in an appropriate position to have say a side table or something in front of it?

There are also blackout stickers for led lights you could try

Just put a piece of sticky tape over the lights if you find them intrusive.

I would say with reasonable safety that there will never be an Openreach installed ONT that will allow you to turn the lights off. The ISP is not responsible for the ONT, Openreach are responsible for it and to allow for some sort of light adjustment you would need to log into it and hold some user level access to perform that task, the ONT is completely locked down as far as the end user is concerned and for good reason, it will never happen so you're going to need to put tape over it.
