The blue LED fad that has swept consumer electronics for the past couple of years is getting to ridiculous levels. They really are brighter than LEDs that emit longer wavelengths: they out-luminesce red and green by a factor of 20. Now, I like them as an accent, and one blue-LED case fan adorns the back of my otherwise nondescript Penguin full-tower beige case. (Yes, it’s a behemoth, but endearing.) But according to some reports, exposure to the lights can disrupt sleep patterns and the diffusion of blue light across the retina means you can’t really focus clearly on one of them (headache city). Check out this article at Wired for more.

What are your thoughts? Love ‘em? Hate ‘em?
