Blue LED lights

[mariesnowgoose]

I really, really dislike blue LED lights. Am I the only one who thinks this?

Personally, I think they're cold and depressing and are as much use as a chocolate fireguard when it comes to a decent light source.

They have appeared everywhere the last few years and, strangely, seem to be a popular choice for self-build vanners, male self-builders in particular - especially those who do moto cross etc.! For some reason they are considered 'cool & trendy'. Why?!

What am I missing? Exactly what is it about them that is so appealing? Can anybody enlighten me please??

I couldn't agree more, and find blue uncomfortable.

"Dislike" blue LED isn't strong enough for me.

I'm talking more about where it is the main, or even only, lighting, *****.

The odd one here or there to highlight, or 'nightlight' a very small area is OK, I guess.

Where it's the main or only source of lighting for the interior of a van, that's what really bugs me.

Double decker buses have them along the top edge now,i thought it was not allowed but only amber at side.

Every light in our van with the exception of the sky lite lights, and the lights in the wc, have the blue option.

I find that weird. It's definitely a modern 'fashion' thing, imho.
Wonder if they'll stay the course and still be 'fashionable' in 5 years time?

Coolest thing ever invented, everything should have at least one on them

I have blue lights around the bed end of my van, solar powered. I like them there, It's like sleeping under the starts. Plus I can see where I'm going if I get up in the middle of the night. I can't sleep well in a total blackout.

What I don't like is blue lights outside houses and on trees and bushes in gardens round Christmas time. I keep thinking it's the Police chasing me when I glance in my mirrors.

A young lad who used to work for me was nicked for displaying blue lights on his boy racer car.

I believe blue LED headlights are now an MoT failure too. So hopefully a few less of these. I find blue LED Christmas lights ok but not before December.
