White light using only Red, Green & Blue LEDs? - L.E.D.s Read Only. No more posting. - PlanetChristmas! Forums. Read Only. We've moved to http://talk.planetchristmas.com - The Forums of PlanetChristmas have moved to http://talk.PlanetChristmas.com
I'm planning a mega tree for next year and was going to order Red, Green, Blue & Warm White LEDs from Paul's group buy, but then I read somewhere that turning on the Red, Green & Blue LEDs simultaneously should give me white (or nearly white) light (using the same theory behind tube and LED TVs).
For those that have done LED mega trees before, is this what you have encountered?
My goal is to have period during a song where my tree is all white to match my white wireframes and house outlines.
I'd hate to buy the warm white LEDs (and the extra controller), just to find out I didn't need them (could always use the $$'s elsewhere in the display).
It won't work for a mega tree (you'll still see the individual R/G/B lights) but you could theoretically shine R/G/B floods or spots on a wall and get white.
