Whoa, a blast from the past! Hi Martin!
We did experiment with the "blue" lights, red ones and yellows, with both yellow
trans and light blue trans domes. By far the blues are MUCH more directional
(or "point source" maybe a better way to describe it) like than the old school
yellow and red ones, which are much more mellow.
Putting a yellow and a red in proximity didn't yield any mixed light :( They're
not close enough and there's nothing fusing the colours together (the plastic
certainly doesn't). Perhaps a reflector might have worked, but it would make
the assembly pretty huge.
The resultant combo looks sorta like a 1970's spaceship control panel. :(
I know there are white LED's...I think this guy seriously gave me the wrong
ones. For the dollar a piece they were, I'm kinda angry.
