DrWizard 0 Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 I repair my LED strings, down to the level of prying off the covers and replacing the actual LEDs. Most of them use the 3mm 'flangeless' style which I order in bulk from China. Problem is-- I can't match up the color of the 'purple' Christmas lights. The 'purple' (aka 395nm UV) LEDs I order do NOT match; they are a deeper shade of purple and not near as bright. The ones in the light strings are more of a lavender / fuchsia color, (possibly a combination of red and blue?). Does anyone know the name (not 'purple') of the color of raw LEDs used in Christmas light strings? Like Comment Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWizard 0 Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 I have tracked them down. The color is called "Phosphor Purple" and are a GaN (blue) diode with some red phosphor. I am looking at doing a group buy. See my post in 'Announcements'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
