Default Wine and Light

I am new to this newsgroup, so I have not seen mentioned anything about protection of the must and the wine from light. I always keep my primary fermenter in the dark or drape it with a heavy cloth. Before I rack to a glass carboy, I first wrap it in aluminum foil. Another technique is to put the carboy down into the box in which it came and close the lid around the airlock.

Anybody else do this? How do you keep light away?
