Matt Bacon Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Well, white LEDs and transparent blue and red paint from Tamiya all exist, so if an actual purple LED doesn’t, it shouldn’t be too hard to fake it… best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersworry Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Yes,...purple LEDs exist. I believe they are commonly used as grow type lights as they are ultraviolet kinda like a blacklight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Yes, while not popular, they do exist. Just like White LEDs are actually blue LED die with a phosphor coating which converts most of the blue light to other colors (resulting in apparent white light), purple (or pink) LEDs are also blue LEDs with another type pf phosphor coating, resulting in purple/pinkish) light. I scored some of the small surface mount (SMD) LEDs from a surplus outfit called Electronic Goldmine. They are not the same as grow light LEDs. Here is a link to them: https://theelectronicgoldmine.com/products/g25733?_pos=4&_sid=880bae79b&_ss=r Unfortunately they recently made the minimum order $35, but if you browse theough the site you might find enough items to satisfy that. You could also search for purple LED on eBay or amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
