Hi All,
As the title suggests "Are there RGB LEDs that can produce a pure WHITE output? "
I'm mostly interested in Round 5mm leds (or 3mm if they're even available).
I've tried many (diffused) RGB LEDs from all kinds of different sources and struggle to achieve a balanced pure white colour when driving all 3 RGB pins equally.
WHITE often looks more blue or slightly light Magenta (purple).
Even mixed colurs such as red/blue, , red/green or blue/green don't always show a nicely balanced Magenta, Yellow or Aqua colours.
Am i expecting too much? or are there simply BAD LEDs as opposed to Excellent LEDs to achieve a nicer White or Colour-Mix output?
I've recall seeing RGBW LEDs (RGB with a 4th internal LED substrate being pure White), but i'm trying to avoid using the 1 extra pin to drive the White LED, but i might "have to" go this way.
Can anyone advise me of certain brands or model numbers i should aim for?
Thanks in advance...
