@Seeedstudio:

Can you please add Jumpers to disable LEDs on Seeedstudio Hardware?
Examples:
Seeeduino v2.21; Power LED; Jumper on bottom
XBee Carrier; Power LED, RX, TX; Jumper on bottom
Grove Base Shield; Power LED, Jumper on bottom
…

All jumpers are soldered/connected by default.

Jumper example:

If you add this its possible to save more energy on batterie based devices without desolder the resistor or LED.

Hi there,

If you cut the leds also can save more energy, but you can have some feedback from hardware.
For example, when you upload fault then you don’t know is you wire problem or signal problem.
About LEDs is take a little power so don’t worry too much.

Best regards,
