Hi,
I have four blue LEDs on my MOTM-ized Wiard Miniwave. I like the deep color
blue, but they are a little uncomfortable to look at directly. I installed
much larger resistors to help dim them, but they are still a little hard to
look at directly.

What's strange is that my Sony audio/video receiver has a long / narrow
blue LED, but it's doesn't give the same "burn a hole in the retina" effect
as other blue LEDs. This LED is actually quite nice to look at. Kind of
serene! I wonder if a blue MOTM-style Lumex LED would be any easier on the
eyes?
