LED color?

[Adrenalynn]

What, this old thing? Yeah, it does ok...

Actually, you'd probably be pretty happy with the Weller WS80 in the background even. When I need both hot air and a fine pencil simultaneously, I wrangle the old Weller back into play...

Purple batteries, that is, not purple LEDs.

 

[Adrenalynn]

You'll get your order before mine shows up, I'm sure... [pout] Should have paid for ems...

Just as good...Will they be in Chicago before Chinese New Year?

 

[Taryn]

Crossing my fingers for a dark royal purple and not lavender!!

 

[CatMommy]

I'm with Taryn on the batt color, though I bet we differ on LED preference...If the batts ship in multiple LED colors, a swap may be in order...

I am with Taryn! I would love a purple batt if it is the deep royal purple like the green and blue. All the 901 purple batts are the white based flat purple. I think we we need a hot pink like the blue and greens..with pink LEDS!

 

[Adrenalynn]

I don't know about purple-on-purple for me - and I love purple.

I'm not at all big on pink, generally, but spring and summer I often use a really hot-pink nail polish (when I'm in a shape other than "round" - I need to get off the 'puter and on the bike...) - having a super hot-pink battery with a purple LED would rock!

Definitely a dark purple, MK.

ooo guess I will hold off on batt purchase.

Just for the record on the forum topic, both of my black autos have blue LEDs. They were purchased in Dec and have 13 sec cutoff.

I don't mind any of the current colors, the white body is different enough to not feel like a Djarum to me with the orange light. However, if they start shipping pink LEDs that should be something you have to order specifically. I would not use a pink LED, I hate pink, it makes me irrationally angry.

Has anyone tried those stained glass markers on the ash cap? If so, does the color stick? Pink could be turned to purple with a little blue, right?

 

[Belletrist]

in theory... but instead of using a stained glass marker, what i would try is mixing some acrylic paint with a transparent medium (something that dries transparent, anyway) like mod podge, and removing the ash cap and filling that little resevoir with it. i don't think one layer of marker will be enough to affect the LED color, because they're so bright. granted i've been wrong before (lots), though. i use acrylic cut with transparent medium to make stained glass-look light fixtures (as in the portion for aesthetic value, i'm not an electrician, lol); it works well and i think with a thicker tinted lens you'd have a more desirable effect. of course, with autos, you'd have to compensate for the airflow somehow... i've been meaning to try this with some of my greens, filling the ash cap with transparent blue to achieve a turquoise, but keep getting caught up in like, paying work.

I guess if push comes to shove I could always use a black sharpie to fix any issues I have with any unwanted colors
