RGB LED - Is it possible to get Orange light?

AHarvey · 14 Dec 2020 at 11:22

Hi all,

Figured this was the best place to ask.

I'm building my brother in law a Half life themed headphone stand so order some RGB LED's from led.me.uk and what's turned up is ****

Bent pin on the connector to start with.

The 3 rows of colours on the remote don't match the colours on the LED's. Blue buttons show green, green show blue and the orange colours are shades of pink. Nothing resembling orange.

Can you get LED RGB strips that do a good orange colour and if so, can someone link some that will do the job?

Thanks

Stu

Orange from an RGB led is full red, half green, 0 blue.

This is just a little cheap set for £5 for 50cm, USB connector + a cheap remote. no option to set my own colour levels

Aquacomputer make fairly decent kit, although you will want it connected to a USB on the PC especially if you want to alter the colours/patterns.
I recommend the RGBpx Nano with external USB connector.

You'll have to get it from ther own site, as OCUK doesn't stock that one.
