[sdiy] POLL: Blue LEDs on music hardware?

[Mike Pepper]

For me they have their uses, I'm partially red/green colour blind, (its a
cone deficiency - if I magnify a resistor I can distinguish the colours
easily). The Red/Green/Yellow type display often gives me problems, when at
a distance, I can't tell if it is green or yellow. A red/blue/purple display
would be far easier. The military, being more sensible, use two row displays
as well as colour, so giving a spatial prompt as well as a colour one.
Seeing how 5mm LEDs in Red/Green work out on my P3, else I shall go to pairs
of 3mm red and blue.

Diffused LED's make a major difference. Narrow angle blues are an eye killer
on stage in dim light. Thought for the day, more stage instruments should
have panel dimmers.

So another option - and a vote for 'use when needed'
