No they werent. White LEDs weren't even invented until the late 90's, and when they first came out they were outrageously expensive. I remember even in the early 2000s they were still $4-5 apiece. Red, green, and yellow were pennies apiece by comparison. Whether the case is clear or colored is irrelevant. LEDs output different colors depending on the junction material. Colored/frosted-clear cases are used for more diffused light, while clear projects a "beam" out the front.
Well each to their own. I know what i saw back in school and when i took apart facias off old IBMs from the late 80s, and HPs, CompaQs and some other unknown brand beige PC cases in the 90s
That depends on the LED and the marker or filter. White LEDs are actually a blue or UV junction with a phosphor coating that emits white (just like a fluorescent bulb). If you try it with a red marker on a cool white LED, and the coating is thick enough, it won't be bright as you think, since the output spectrum of a cool white is mostly blue with very little red. That's the same reason you have to be careful when using LEDs in your car dashboard - many stock gauges have color filters to get multiple colors from the incandescent bulb, and if you wanted to make your dash blue, for example, your red markings will be dark/black.
I never said that it was a great way to do it. I never said that it would be identical to shop bought ones in the actual colour desired. I never said anything about putting it in car dashboards or recommended in putting it in car dashboards.
Ive seen someone use the markers to mod white LEDs when they couldnt buy blue LEDs for their Logitech Z-5500 control box. One guy used blue marker on white LEDs. the other guy used red LEDs but of course the colour is never gonna be any REAL substitute for an actual blue or red LED but thats why they call them ghetto mods.
If your that pedantic then find another shop that has the LEDs that you want.
though on a side note, you probably could use them on a car dashboard providing you coat it a few times with the marker applying another layer after letting it dry.
