Hello,
I'm looking for 3mm warm white LEDs to replace my standard white LEDs (which are too blue), to be fitted to a Hobbytrain Taurus but there are many uses for such an LED - can anyone help?
I need 10 (2 for each Taurus) and the only people I can find are Express Models who seem to be charging £1.40 per LED!!!
There is no way I'm paying that for LEDs...
This long exposure shot shows the true colour of the Taurus lights...hardly blue-white!

I wonder if I could put yellow ink/paint/film on the current white LEDs to make them a better match? While on the subject has anyone thought about or tried smaller LEDs (perhaps surface mount? SMD LED) so that perhaps each light could be done independently (in the Hobbytrain Taurus there is a plastic conduit that takes the LED light to the three headlights and cab, so trying to fit something for red tail lights is proving really difficult because there is no room with the existing conduit in place!
Any advice warmly welcomed!
