The PCB shipped this morning so I should have this in hands tomorrow or the following day and I'll test these color first thing for you.

For white (R.255, G.255, B.255)

For warm white (R.255, G.244, B.229)



I'll report back!


Sounds good!

This is the stuff they coat LED with to achieve that magical pure white (phosphor). Its mixed in with a clear epoxy and dabbed on top of the LED. I'll order some (a massive $2 lol) to test out and see what we can achieve with this process. I'll get a gram in 5 microns, just for fun. (I know I know, crazy stuff... all up for learning new tricks, that's all lol).

"The Phosphor white method produces white light in a single LED by combining a short wavelength LED such as blue or UV, and a yellow phosphor coating. The blue or UV photons generated in the LED either travels through the phosphor layer without alteration, or they are converted into yellow photons in the phosphor layer."
