Quoted from John_I:I like the cool white because of the space theme. Otherwise I use the sunlight for older games. For the backbox chase lights, I tried a whole lot of different LEDs and almost went back to incandescent before landing on the purple passion. Most LEDs have a white dome even though they are colored light. The white domes look awful in the chase lights. Clear domes and no domes would be too bright because you can see the LED directly and get retina burn! The purple passion 2-SMD have a dark purple dome. Since then Comet has made "indicator lamps" which have domes that are the same color as the LEDs. I would think that these would look good too as chase lights.

I'll be picking up mine BH on Tuesday, with a lot of work to do on it. I've seen side by side comparisons between original incandescent and LED ice blue. I like the original color much better, for the backglass at least. Knowing color theory, I agree with your decision to use cool white and nothing more.
