LED lighting is quickly becomming the way of the future with white led devices and colored LEDs of nearly any wavelength desired. I used blue because in our house audio/visual control room during production we need to see to get around, but we avoid white light at all costs because it can be seen by the audience. Our old florescent tubes with a blue filter have now been replaced with ALL BLUE LED Grow Light Panel 225 LED 110 Volt,2501BU which screwed to the ceiling and gives a very direct blue glow on the workspace below, as well as these blue LED assemblies.
What makes these unique are two halves – first they use extra bright blue LEDs to begin with so they throw alot of light. The circuit board mounts 2 leds directed to the left, 2 leds to the right, and one straight ahead, which makes their light very directional inside our control room (keep in mind the control room has walls and ceiling painted BLACK so really there is no light comming out of it except what we spill – with LEDs we spill hardly any light now which means nobody is looking at that blue place at the back of the auditorium)
These use VERY little power (we have jacks on our mixer panels for 12V lighting that can run 10 of these little assemblies under the counter). They would work great for computers with open (lucite) covers to see the insides if done in a blue theme. DO NOT BE FOOLED – 5 blue LEDs put out quite a bit of light – 2 of these carefully glued inside a computer case will provide ample light.
Additionally, the seller on my order shipped USPS 2day fixed cost which they did not have to but it was appreciated as we were actively rennovating our a/v control room and these arrived on Saturday, allowing us to dim the house lights and switch to blue lighting inside our room come monday night’s show. With these stuck to the furniture above mixers and rackmount recorders, they offered a coordinated lighting scheme with virtually no spillage out of our window to the audience which was the desired effect.
Finally – just to reiterate – this is not that dim blue LED that first came on the market years ago – it’s bright as can be and hard to look directly into!

I got two of these to go under the dash of my car. It was really easy and they came pretty quick too. They are really bright and the LED’s are positioned so that the light spreads out evenly. I’ve only had them for a few days so don’t know how long they last.
