Having replaced 10 Elly LEDs with Cree's and SSC P4's, I did a quick confirmation test of colour tint on the original LEDs.

There were two types of led, both similar, but the ones with ZY-1 text on star were undoubtedly bluer.

The ones without any text were a much whiter tint.

I bought all the Ellys from DX.

Very interesting. I never did an in-depth comparison of the ones I've converted, but it seemed that the bluer tinted ones (before the conversion) drew more current than the whiter ones. I have a few more stock Ellys, I'll have to compare them. Good eye!
