Growing up in the 2000s, I've come to associate blue LEDs with tacky cheap garbage appliances, as no sane manufacturer would treat their customers with such contempt. The brightest LEDs were always in the cheapest, lowest quality stuff. Especially the ultra-bright clear ones project onto the wall, with bonus points added for ones driven off unfiltered AC so they flicker as your eyes move around. It is pretty impressive that such a tiny light can light up a whole room, but it's not the kind of impressive that makes it comfortable to sleep next to one.
