My laptop has one white LED in the lid-release button on the edge. There’s a tiny green/yellow LED in the power-adaptor cord. That’s it. 
My cellphone, on the other hand… blue all over! Extra-special blue pulsing lights half-hidden under a painted surround! Blue backlight on the keyboard!
Anaamika, Nancarrow, have you ever checked out the LED Museum? LEDs of every colour, including blue and ultraviolet! Flashlights! LEDs by themselves! Blue lasers!
I was having some work done on my modular synthesizer and I since the red LEDs needed to be replaced anyway, I thought it would be cool to have blue LEDs. There’s 8 of them, and damn are they bright. I can’t look directly at the device when it’s running. I put a strip of tape over them when needed. The only cool aspect is that when it’s running and cycling through the lights, it looks like the police just arrived.
The builder even called me to warn that the lights were on the bright side, and that he had other colors available if I didn’t like the red, so I guess it’s my own damn fault for not heeding his warning.
I think I posted here about the stupid LEDs on the servers in our server room; the one on the top rack continually blinded me when I bent down to pull out the KVM.
Last month I put a piece of regular tape over it, then coloured overtop of it with a black marker. Result: An LED of the proper brightness, and a lack of punches from our IT guy for doing anything permanent to the servers. 
The stupidest is that they put them on alarm clocks.
You can read by the fucking things.
I have a cheap toaster oven with a blue light. To be fair, I don’t think it’s a LED, but still…
I’ve got one of those. I had no idea it would be so bright when I bought it! I have to turn the thing away from the bed to be able to sleep, damn thing would keep me awake otherwise.
When that chapter of Blue LED Anonymous forms, somebody let me know, 'kay?
Hi, I’m TroubleAgain, and I’m an LED addict…
Rack after rack of 1U Dells, all with one Psycho-Brite LED… it hurts to look that direction.
If it was an error indicator and/or UID (like they used to be) it wouldn’t be so bad, but they are on all the time, and they blink when powered off. I hate 'em! :mad:
Now, on the end of a staff or embedded into the back of my Millennium Falcon, that’d be cool, but dozens of them, all lined up, all day every day, isn’t so much fun.
Or how about using a piece of Scotch[sup]TM[/sup] tape? This might diffuse the light without causing any damage to the unit, and it would get around the aforementioned problems with recessed/embedded LEDs.
FTR, I like blue LEDs.
Ooo! Can I be president?
Preach it, brother.
My TV has a fairly bright blue LED on the front, which turns on whenever the TV is on. It’s freakin’ annoying, and serves no purpose whatsoever except to attempt to outshine whatever’s displayed on the screen at the time.
The worst, though, is my toothbrush. My freakin’ toothbrush, man! It’s a rechargeable electric toothbrush, and it does a really good job of keeping my pearly whites their pearly whitest. However, when you place it back on the charging base, a searchlight-bright blue LED inside the toothbrush starts flashing BLUE. BLINK. BLINK. BLINK. BLINK.
It can take up to 24 hours to recharge, since it’s just an induction charger. Even worse, my bathroom sinks are basically in the bedroom, and face the bed. So all night long, when my toothbrush needs recharging, my otherwise dark, comfy bedroom is subjected to BLINK. BLINK. BLINK. BLINK.
I’m gonna go postal real soon now, I just know it.
I would so buy that toothbrush
The TV I agree is annoying though.
:: ponders method of informing Anaamika’s SO about her blue LED enthusiasm ::
Oh, my love for bright shiny things would be no surprise to him! He knows all about it.
Black Sharpie marker or black electrical tape. Problem solved. Is this MPSIMS or something?
Why, because there’s not enough cursing or anger? Well here! I fucking LOVE Blue LED lights!
I like blue LEDs. My mouse with the cool blue LED scroll wheel died a little while back, and I miss it 
You’re a fucking idiot douche-bag if you like blue LEDs! Green LEDS FTW!!!111!
RogueGF? Is that you?
RogueGF is seriously into the blue LEDs. Just to tease her, when I put my last computer together, I used an Antec Nine Hundred case. 
Ooooooooooooooooooo is pretty.
