Whats the best way to light an Orange Translucent Shawnzilla/FX style button?


I'd like to use a single LED mounted in a hole that is drilled in the center of the bottom of the button.


But I dont know where to get an Orange wide angle led.  Will white work?  Any suggestions on where to get orange?


Thanks

Hey timoe, I'm no expert, but I haven't noticed any differences using different colored LEDs on translucent buttons (unless they're just clear).

I took some pics of a blue LED and a white LED in a blue translucent, and though the white LED was rated at a higher MCD (hence the slightly lighter looking button), there was no noticeable difference in color on the button:

you might try using yellow it should still look orange

I've found that white LED's work best with orange buttons.  The colored LED's are either dim or change the color.

Timoe:

So you would use white even with the blue buttons?
