why does everything have a fucking l.e.d on it these days? i just bought a new emergency mouse due to my old one imploding and it has a fucking l.e.d on the top. my mixer has one that is constantly on unless you unplug it. what purpose does that serve?

I usually cover them with black electrical tape, the new people want shinny and glowy things.

I don't mind LEDs in general, its just the obnoxiously bright ones that are stupid, IMO

Its part of the government conspiracy to shine cancer beams at you to reduce the world population. Cheers to them I say.

small LEDs on computer components are useful to see if they are dead, like on the motherboard, back of PSU, etc, but on the mouse is just for show. LEDs give the illusion of excellence. You know those old sci-fi films with the computer with the big bank of lights. The only purpose is to look good. If the computer was clever it would not need LEDs to show what the hell it is doing at any given moment.
The reason LEDs are common now is that most appliances can't be turned off except by pulling the plug. They have this "standby" mode, where they need to have a LED to show you they are ready to be used.
A lot of things have blue (hate them) LEDs which are of the bright or even super bright varient (gaaahhh my eyes!). For some reason the designers are clueless about these things.

our systems led's have an extra led for the led light that tells me if the secondary led is broken (which is the one that signifies whether or not the main led is operational for notifying me if the circuit board which controls the main led panel for informing me of any possible damage to the led's which are in place for confirming the positive status of all components/holders in the toilet roll refill system in 'the hotel for the stars' here in Monaco...the whole system actually only cost about 8 of your US dollars to design and build (excluding cable) ...it sounds incredible , i know! but it allows us to chill out and only refill the rolls as and when needed so to not disturb our guests.
Even NASA does not have this assurance on information clarification ... as we know from previous missions.

I think a mouse with surgically-altered LED eyes would be pretty cool. I mean, he'd be all blind and pathetic and probably have a wire leading from his body to an external power source, which in turn would mean he is not only blind but tethered and unable to explore past the bounds of his cabling, thus enhancing his pity-factor, unless by some oversight in my imagination, his brains' own electrical impulses would be enough to power the LED eyes, in which case you'd have a mouse that is adept at bumping into things and illuminating dark areas in the process.
