Of course, I have used white, red, amber, etc, all the colors are available in low power, but I agree something is wrong with tim unit.

I used my first OBDuino with an Arduino (and its 2 LEDs) and the same first blue LCD as yours, so all in all taking 80+mA, in a black fully closed enclosure in South Carolina for 2 weeks of summer, and it never thermal shutdowned.
