Thanks. It is cool to have a pilot here

If:

1 - the power outlets are disabled and enabled as you describe AND
2 - the blue light on the edge of the seat is disabled when power is disabled AND
3 - the purpose of the blue light is to alert the FAs during the safety check (during taxiing, after the safety demo, and on final approach after the 10,000 feet double chime) for plugged-in devices

Then things don't add up, right?
