Sorry it's a bit late. tongue.gif

What is your favorite color LED?
gunak87
Infrared? Is that the same as ultraviolet?
BionicSniper
no infrared is a wave band slightly above red that we cannot see. Its commonly used to transfer data. like in tv remotes. Or pdas and stuff with irda connections.

Ultra violet is a wave band above violite that we cannot see

my fav is uv
Agallion
all im going to say is blue gives your case that..cold feel.

OH and RED= PINK
hardnrg
maybe if i was one of those fish that can see the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum i'd choose infrared...

however, i cannot claim to be such a fish as i am not a fish at all...

therefore my choice is UV and violet... you can get violet LEDs that emit visible violet light only and you can get UV leds that emit invisible UV and also visible violet light...

i am not a fish... thankyou, thankyou very much

Out of those choices blue I think. But I do like orangey as well..

Red all the way tongue.gif I'm really sick of blue lighting everywhere biggrin.gif

Red only looks pink if the inside of your case is aluminum. My red leds are nice and red, and since I painted the inside red too the cathodes look red also, even tho they looked kinda pink before :/.

Red I could do in a keyboard wink.gif but... red reminds me too much of the hdd activity light otherwise lol so.. it'd have to be orange anywhere else I think smile.gif
bishop245
i voted red but i like red, blue, and green and i have all three colors in different cases smile.gif
roadkill
I like white smile.gif
martymcfly
infrared is below red. red is the lowest color on the visible light spectrum. Ultraviolet is above violet, the highest color on that spectrum. Neither is visible because they are past the limits.

I too like white.
BionicSniper
thats what i said marty biggrin.gif

i like uv ones because i can accent different flourescent items

and i already have 4 blue ccfls so i dont need blue leds
i also have 5 more blue ccfls laying around!

fire_storm
I like blue leds.
ClayMeow
All my fan LED's and power supply LED's are blue....goes best with UV lights, IMO.
a_rabbit
Blue, although I do like UV
Revo
Red or blue.
nan0click
if you hold a digital camera up near the infared light thingy on a remote control and push a button, you can see it light up on the viewscreen on the camera....

red yello black in white, they're all special in my sight
DECwakeboarder
Blue and Green...I'm mixing the two with my current case.
flareback
blue! but green is good too.
Vampire
I would have voted UV, but since there wasnt one I went for Blue.

that is pretty cool. You can display secret messages. Have a block of tons of IR LEDs. Only some powered, so as to create a message. Bystander cannot tell without camera what the message is.
Aeromun
blue rocks
aaronamd
teal, and yes you are a fish [H]ardnrg!
jbarnes
Glad to see I'm not the only one who tested the infared remote / camera thing.. that's pretty tight
spazmire11

erm.. nope i'm not... and so like the entire rest of the human race, i cannot see infrared... so i'd consider it colourless... maybe those fishees can see it as a colour...

that was my point, IR is not a colour and does not belong on this poll (imo naturally)
DECwakeboarder
That's a good point, D3 not knowing his colors...but the IR/camera trick is pretty cool.
tazwegion
Hmmmm...


BLUE blush.gif
