    you may need to custom order that bad boy, i've never seen tim stock that...a certain led supply store has custom star options...

    The options in the store are all the store offers, not what can be purchased elsewhere. Unless you use a soundboard that can color mix, like the petit crouton 3.0 and the color extender, you will be stuck using one led for the flash, and the other two for the blade color if you use a nano biscotte.

    Got a question? Start Here. Have you tried the Thread Index yet? Most questions can be answered there.

    OK that's what I thought. Thank you for the help guys. I'm hoping to get this project started very soon. With the R/G/B tri rebel I'd have to decide between cyan with red flash, or purple with green flash. Both would be pretty cool.

    Some one can correct me if I'm wrong. With my experience with the NBv2 the FOC is on top of the main blade color. I mixed a G/G/rB tri-rebel for cyan with a green FOC. The green flashes over the cyan giving me a light-ish green color not true green. All three colors mixed for the FOC. Something to keep in mind when deciding on colors.

    That is correct.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    I was wondering about that. I wasn't sure if when FOC activated, the other colors cut out or if it mixed with the others. So now that we have that figured out, dose anyone know what color you get if you mix R/G/B together?
