Comment on When synthetic dyes became available, people treated them a bit like we treated blue LEDs 10 years ago

They are still used where not needed and Way too bright usually. I have more than once used precisely placed electrical tape to reduce them down to a pinhole or slit.

blue leds may fuck up your circadian rhytm but won’t give you ballsack cancer (probably)

i heard it’s because leds get brighter per mA but circuits don’t get updated and leds are fed the same current as 5, 10 years ago

  yeah? Im not saying thats right but as a person who builds things with LEDs, if you give them too much voltage without the right resistor they burn out quicikly
