That doesn't explain why they're blue - which is a much brighter and more intense LED color then green or red.

The craziest one is the subwoofer my parents bought for their home theater - this is a device you would exclusively use in a darkened room while watching movies...and it has a full size eye-searing 3mm LED to indicate "power on" (it's been electrical taped over for about a decade now).



My theory is that blue lights stand out more in Amazon search results.
