When will the reign of terror end?

I thought it wasn't in vogue now.  Thought it was like last decade fashion.  

 

We had red and green and those combined for yellow for so long when blue LEDs became available at good pricing it was a thing for a time. 

 

Now I actually don't mind the blue.  What I find for some reason is a tendency for the blue LEDs to be so much brighter than was the case with other LEDs.  I also have some gear with white LEDs.  Those too are rather bright, and I've either covered them or moderated the brightness (a touch of tape with a pinhole in it).  My power amp has a long blue LED illuminated strip, but it has a pot so you can adjust it to your preferred brightness including off.  

 

Your example photo is sure a case of overkill.  I'd expected they would have LED strips on the sides of the speaker.

I remember Marantz being pretty much blue green back in the day.

I've used blue LED night lights for a few years.  Blue light is harder for the eye to focus, especially at low light levels.  There is more internal scattering in the eye.  So why would I choose blue?  If you wake up in the middle of the night, the indistinct blue light doesn't seem to fully wake me up like other colors.  It has a dreamy soft quality, which makes it easier to make a trip to the bathroom or to fetch a sip of water, and then fall back to sleep.

Here's your cure to those pesky bright Blue lights. Drink more booze while listening. Works for me

Awesome wine by the way:

Should I ask or just assume this is a California wine?
