Allow me to try and persuade you. The problem is bright blue LEDs. It's still stupid that they make them so bright, but the problem isn't the color. A hypothetical bright red, green, or amber LED would also be a problem.

    Shorter wavelengths hit different though. That's why we have blue light filtering glasses, Redshift, etc.

    a non-diffused, bright, monocromatic red led would still be painful to look at in the dark, it's just that blue LEDs tend to be brighter + our eyes are more sensitive to blueish green light at night + the damn companies don't bother putting a diffuser in front of the diode.
