[dorkbotsea-blabber] LEDs/components?

[Steve Greenfield]

I also have an LCD display with blown backlight, two in fact, and
was thinking of doing the same. The tubes are way too expensive.

Keep in mind that LEDs have a color temperature just as other light
sources, and not all white LEDs are created equal. Some may have
strange effects like miscolored halos and discontinuous spectrum.

Here are a couple of eBay sellers of LEDs recommended on the
Electronics_101 list:
