Are you asking if you should cover your peep sight with tape?

Sounds like you need more of that air conditioned oxygen because I think you may have killed some brain cells in the oxygen depleted heat!
I have no idea what you just asked

I would say, just keep on trucking with your current setup. When the yoogle box becomes too much to handle, just take a rest in front of that AC unit.
You mean the threaded hole where the little mini blue light goes? Plug it if you want, just don't plug it with the light

I have no access holes for my peep sights, but I do have light mounting holes for my bow sights. plugging the light hole hasn't been anything I have tried. But I do use electrical tape on models that have the fibers wrapped around the pin guard. Some are just way too bright in the sunlight. Nice thing about electrical tape is it does not make any noise if you realize you need it off when game are present. I did notice a number of small pieces were much more convenient than one large piece. Allows you to adjust as the light changes. Then after awhile I found the amount I liked in almost all conditions.

Peep access holes? Sounds like something that'll put you in jail.
