I have several 6 way extension plug leads which have built in red lights.
It is not convenient for me to switch them off at the wall socket due to inacessability behind furniture.
I go to the trouble to unplug things and not use the 'standby' but I am aware of these red lights continuously glowing.
Has anyone gone to the trouble of removing these little bulbs? Is is safe and easy to do so?

No Margaret, you or anyone else should not attempt to remove these lights, they are an 'indicator' to let you know there is power going to the socket, they are also small neon lights the power consumption of which is very, very close to zero, in the range of micro amps and will not make a good return on the risk of damage, fire hazard etc caused by interfering with and dismantling the sockets.
