Yep although stock brightness sometimes is very dim,like on my SX-1280.The LEDs were much brighter but still had that warm white glow,which is what I wanted.I voted yes, but with the obvious caveats--must be done tastefully (as in comparable to stock in brightness and color) and must be done competently (no half-assed hack job). LEDs offer the advantages of lower heat production, lower power consumption, and longer life, but must be implemented properly to "work" for me.
That said, if I had a receiver with one bulb out, and it's an easy fix to replace that bulb, it's getting a new bulb.
and i have been asked to change colors on purpose...taste, being what it is.Mostly agree with it being fine as long as the appearance is unchanged. I'm not a fan of cool white lights that put an obvious blue tint to things or other non-standard coloring.
Considering Howard Dean, but, really want my vote to count.
What/who is Howard Dean?
