A vote for amber LED lights on components over blue lights.

If I offered you a small plastic stick on window that changed the blue to an incandescent white, maybe even red would you buy it?

The color blue is responsible for our glare response which is why we don't like it in dark setting when our pupils are wide.

     First world problem to be sure.  As mothers have often stated to provide some proper perspective: "Don't you know there are people in the world that are starving to death right now?"

    Discretionary pie hole shutting is sometimes one's best option.

"LEDs under tubes are the worst. Macintosh? "
I agree, noromance.

I like Mac's. I get their thinking with keeping the traditional green, but under the tubes however immediately cheapens the look. Tacky/low rent. If anything, they should use amber, to compliment the tube filament glow. This was done on my phonoamp. Can't really tell it's additional lighting since it matches. The only place green looks appropriate is the meters on my MR71.

Here's the thing with amber-it matches tube glow. Seeing tube glow in a dim room is equal to having a fireplace. We all like to look at a fireplace-soothing.

Looks like someone thought this was the "SAVE THE WORLD" forum?
Lets project some GUILT on everyone's prosperity! Throw your system out the window everyone.

     Com'on men(?), you grasshoppers do realize these little LED lights are just 29 cent diodes and come in a zillion colors, right?
     If you tough guys can swing the cash, use a screwdriver and pick out a non-whine inducing color, then crying time is over, right?
