For a while now, I've been seeing blue lights where ordinarily they should be green or red, and in some cases, white. For example, a blue range on a fixed bridge, instead of green; and, this morning, a blue running light on a boat, instead of red. It's my understanding that white LEDs do not show the color of the lens if used in, let's say,in running lights, you must put in the appropriate color LED. But if white LEDs are used, do they show blue. If not, why the proliferation of blue lights now-a-days? *Rudy & Jill Sechez * *BRINEY BUG-a 34' Sail-Assisted Trawler * *Anchoring Consultants-trawlertrainingabc.com* *850-832-7748 * *Charleston SC Northbound-Chesapeake* <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

White LEDs are really blue or possibly UV LEDs with a white phosphor. I had a white LED anchor light in which the phosphor became inactive over a rear or two, so I ended up with a blue anchor light until I could replace it.

That makes sense, following what I've seen. *Rudy & Jill Sechez * *BRINEY BUG-a 34' Sail-Assisted Trawler * *Anchoring Consultants-trawlertrainingabc.com* *850-832-7748 * *Charleston SC Northbound-Chesapeake* > > <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
