i bought a large quantity of nichia 3mm diffused white leds.
the guy i got them from was dissapointed in the tint for his project.
they were slightly purplish.
they are fine in ham radio displays and dc nightlights.
i put 3 in series across the switch of a ott light i converted to 12v by installing a thinlite ballast.
these led's have several thousand hours on them.they are on whenever the lamp is off/closed.
i did another for a friend who has solar.
same bag of led's that i opened myself.
same current on these too.
the unused leds are slightly purple but the ones with the runtime now are white!
they look neutral next to a 12v desk lamp with a thinlite ballast and "950" phosphor "full spectrum" tubes.
the new ones look purplish in this test too.
