I tested out a Cyan 1W Luxeon, and it's GREEN!
I thought that I would email the supplier and tell them they sent me the wrong one, so I took a photo to attach as some evidence, and hey presto, the LED turns out a very nice Cyan. Wha...?
I tried fiddling with the white balance on the camera, tried with and without flash, tried putting reference objects in the photo (ie to see if they change colour too). No good. No matter what I do, the Lux turns out Cyan, and everything else in the shot looks just like it should.
I tried this with a Canon Powershot A80, and also a Canon EOS 10D. Both do the circuis trick. I showed it all to a graphic designer friend, and she confirmed green before, cyan after. So it's not just my dumb male colour blindness.
Does anyone have any explanation. I assume it's the CMOS in the cameras, but the two (although the same brand) use different types.
Curious.
