When it comes to light pollution, am I the only one who thinks that blue LEDs are particularly weird?

Although it is not bright as white light, probably because it doesn't stimulate all our cones, I find blue LED light strangely bright and intense. As blue is the highest frequency among the primary colors I suspect that there is an energy intensity aspect to it, that I may be sensitive to, that sets of some subconsious alarms.

I think they should be banned or their usage reduced.

Anyone feeling the same way?




If you own it, paint over the led with translucent nail polish. Layer until it is an acceptable level of brightness.
