| Translucent Button Question: Go with clear or colored? |
| << < (2/3) > >> |
| markrvp:
Has anyone tried lighting blue buttons with red LEDs or red buttons with blue LEDs? I know it was discussed to get purple that way, but I don't remember anyone actually doing it. |

I think that there was an issue of light color wavelength cancelation. If you take near blue light and pass it through a red filter, not much will pass. You would need to push more light to get a desired effect. |

Should I go with all clear buttons and illuminate them with the appropriate colored led or get appropriate colored buttons w/colored led? The major benefit of all clear buttons is the ability to change color at any time... but I was wondering if it the colored led w/clear button works well enough (in terms of brilliance)? Any thoughts? BTW: I know it is kind of a lame question but before I shell out 100 bucks or so for new buttons I was hoping to get some opinions. --- End quote --- Anybody considering shelling out a bunch of money for "clear" buttons to change their colors with LEDs might want to wait a couple of weeks.....
