Andersmilling Offline Senior Member Another happy landing Posts: 54 Thank you received: 4	So I have my white arbiter, and because it's to expensive for me to buy a new saber I want to buy a new LED, but I don't know which color. I am thinking about blue or yellow, but blue just seems a bit too normal and common. Have though about green and red as well. But think it's between blue and yellow right now. It's a 6w LED with quick connect.

I ordered mine in Indigo and Cyan and I was amazed by how cool the cyan looks in person and differed from other blues sabers I have compared it to. I like the Indigo but the Cyan---Just----wow!!!

Snakeeyz99 Offline Platinum Member Posts: 322 Thank you received: 107	It's red, green, blue, amber, and white. For the blues, I think, each is a mix of blue and white LEDs: Deep Blue (pure blue): 4B,0W Medium Blue: 3B,1W Light Blue: 2B,2W Arctic Blue: 1B,3W White (pure white): 0B,4W

h2soy Offline Moderator Curio Collector Posts: 1288 Thank you received: 336	The "blues" are two types of blue led: "blue" and "royal blue." Also, there is no straight 4 white LED "white" but rather there's frost white which is 3w and 1b. Also "light blue" has a green tossed in and deep blue is 4 rb (70% sure this is all true). I feel like we should have the correct info stickied in the FAQ because this question gets raised so often.

Ah, okay. I was basing my mixes based on the listed colors on the main site, where white is White but not Frost White (which would imply some blue). I forgot Royal Blue existed, too, and it makes sense that Deep Blue is pure Royal.

What surprises me is the green in the light blue... I haven't seen it in person yet so I guess I haven't picked up on it. I also wonder what some of the other possible mixes of blues would look like...

He forgets to mention what makes purple (2 Red+2 Royal Blue). It would be nice if they released an updated version of this video with the 12w+ LEDs, the other greens (mint and lime), and in a darker environment.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! Though I wonder if the info is up to date- he says the white uses 4 6K white dies, but as mentioned earlier in the thread the frost white uses at least blue die. Are they distinct or did SF replace the white option with Frost White?

Otherwise, the video only tells me how little I actually know of the optics of color mixing.
