Blue Translucent Trackball...GREEN?
« on: March 08, 2007, 12:21:50 am »
OK, I just connected my Happs blue translucent trackball to my pc power supply and my 12v bulb lit up perfectly.  However...when I placed my bulb under the trackball it turned GREEN and not BLUE!  May be a simple solution to this but is it because the bulb is white and not LED?  Not sure why the color is Green but can I replace the bulb the trackball came with to something different, maybe LED or something else to make it a pure BLUE like Happs stated?  What have you used for your BLUE trackball?

I was looking at these last night but wasn't sure if I needed one.  Just placed my order.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Do these units come with the bulb?  I'm curious how many LED's are people using.  Says you can have up to 4 but wouldn't one be enough?

The unit comes with one very powerful wide angle LED.  It is so powerful that I used the installed pot to turn it down.  :cheers:
