any LED experts here?

if im not mistaken, an led light ( like the ones you put in your mpc) can only be a few colors right?
red, blue, white, purple, green, and yellow, thats about it right?

the reason i ask is becuase i saw this baby blue color on an mpc 4k at ghostinmpc.com

ill post a picture here so you can see what im talking about, is this just how the picture came out with the lighting or do they actually make baby blue leds?

heres the link

im pretty sure you can get light blue leds... they can make plenty of colours..

searching up his name now.

thanks guys

It is just matter of finding LEds that are the same size & same current rating (my guess is it is 20mA).
Desolder the LED and find out current rating.

Personally, those blue LEDs might look cool initially, but they can become annoying, because those LEDs are a bit too bright than it need to be, so it might irritate your eyes.

thanks jvc, ill check that out for sure.

i found the part number of the led's that they are using last night and im pretty sure they are 20ma also.

heres the model number i found

2.2v 3mm L934 series kingbright although i havent been able to find that perticular one yet.

@ lamp i sent him a pm

@ debauch i hope i can find them in light blue with 20ma outuputs.

i may order that led tester to see what the rating of mine are cause i have regular blue ones now.

often you see blue LEDs that are simply too bright... this is common with blue ones because of how they are made. It would be cool if you could get blue organic leds if that exists.. I am no expert.

I believe they combine colours to create other colours so it should be possible... like, one way I believe they make white is by combining red, green, and blue... (dont quote me on that) but they also have other ways as well....

So called organic LEDs are totally different thing, it is used for small LCD type color display.
White LEDs are not RGB LEDs, they are blue LEDs (or ultraviolet LEDs) with phosphors, it is similar the way how T8 tube works.

absolutely that is the case, however it is possible to produce white by combining RGB... I read it on wikipedia today after posting that because I was curious to find out how colour combining would work.

i wonder what the rating of my blue led's are then, cause they are probably brighter than the stock ones, but i dont really mind it.

have any of you successfully installed a 3.2 or 3.6v LED in your mpc?

i'm an LSD expert... oops... nevermind.
