Sure, the whole world is on fire right now, but there are also little things to be upset about. ☝😉

    At one point, blue LEDs were super expensive because of their difficult production.
    So any product that has a blue LED was considered premium. I guess they were also considered futuristic and high-tech.
    Somehow, this is still in the mind of some manufacturers.
    All I want is a barely-visible-in-soft-daylight diffused/frosted red or amber LED.
    But no, it’s always some 5w lensed blue LED at somehow produces a tighter beam of horrendous blue light that’s brighter than most flashlights.
