Red eye Reduction lamp.How to turn off?

I can't seem to turn mine off when using any of the manual settings on my nikon d50(A,s,m or P)
But it only come on when in a low light situation...

I am going to do some gig photography next week and want it off as i think it may annoy the band.
Is a bit of gaffer over it the option..
Thanks

Hi

That's the AF Assist lamp, not red-eye reduction.

Set Custom Function 07 - AF Assist to Off
