Search on YouTube for videos by BigClive - he has done reviews and teardowns of quite a few LED lighting systems

maybe quality is the way to go, but those things (mostly cheap) are turning up everywhere
my new motherboard has led strips (turned off), even ram chips have it for an extra dollar (why?). I built my latest rig to be as tiny and unobtrusive as possible. I've seen advertised bicycle spokes with them that such that if you ride fast enough (not that fast) looked like they could render images visible from the side.
soon everything's gonna be led stripped!
Holy sh*t!! take cover!! there's humboldt squid attacking people in the park!
... don't be silly, it's just the neighborhood dogs playing frisbee with their owners.

There is a much better use for LED strips: Look here![^]

An interesting read on how white light is created with LED's. It sounds like your white light is the blue-yellow combination. However, that link is from 2003. Still, reading the wikipedia link, it seems that's still how it's done.

I still don't know why someone thinks that I might be interested in clicking on ads showing a Millenial Mutant (TM) and a potted plant. Hard to say which one of the two looks more intelligent. Anyway, since last week I get this ad on CP on every page at every refresh. On some pages the mutant and his plant even look at me twice.
For the first time I now got a different ad for a 6 channel 8 GHz oscilloscope. Now we are talking. I could even afford it if I really wanted to, even if the price tag is 25 times that of the more modest oscilloscope I have. Except hopeless nostalgia there are some more rational reasons why I play with such old processors. Anyway, that's really a sexy device.
If I really may wish for a new toy, how about a logic analyzer[^]? I will not need any high frequencies, but enough channels and useful functions would be nice. Any tips where to look?

Keysight seem to have come from nowhere, I'm guessing the brand was owned by someone who let it fall and then brought it back or sold it on. I have never used more than three channels at the same time, but six I could get behind (monitoring clock signals & inputs simultaneously...). I find if I need an instrument got home use I have found Uni-T to be quite good (Farnells Tenma brand is Uni-T with a badge change!) There stuff is not too expensive and seems to quite accurate have a look at Bangood.com

Measuring the data bus may require some more channels. Data lines, address lines, address extensions, /MRD and /MWR. Or when you have several busmasters at work, like when you are debugging DMA.

Point never really needed to at this stage. Mostly use them measuring values at points...

If I needed a scope and it wasn't silly money it would a yes from me (bought a Uni-T model a couple of years ago, two channel does the job!) Whats your view on Pico-scopes, never really worked for me...

They are the preferred thing to have on your desk. It's a USB box with Terminals attached and you run a funny bit of software...Don't really work for me!
