This topic is for future product design improvement suggestion, open for debate. 3Dconnexion can/may consider change the color of the LED to long wavelength color light to protect 3Dconnexion end-users' vision.
Blue Light and Your Eyes You should know that blue light can cause an eye damage. Practically all visible blue light passes through the cornea and lens and reaches the retina. This light may impact vision and might too soon age the eyes. Early research study shows that excessive exposure to blue light could result in:
Digital eyestrain: Blue light from computer screens and digital devices can decrease contrast resulting in digital eyestrain. Fatigue, dry eyes, bad lighting, or how you sit in front of the computer can cause eyestrain. Symptoms of eyestrain consist of sore or inflamed eyes and problem focusing.
Retina damage: Studies suggest that ongoing exposure to blue light in time could cause harmed retinal cells. This can cause vision problems like age-related macular degeneration.

Sorry, but how often do you sit and stare at your 3D Mouse?
Personally I'd be more concerned about your monitor.....or daylight.
You don't need to stare at the blue LED light of SpaceMouse, the LED is just there on desktop emitting blue light through corner of user' eyes when the SpaceMouse device is connected via USB cable to computer. By the way, the blue LED light can be turned off via 3DxWare driver tray icon, if people don't know the way to turn it off, it will be a potential problem.
