When mixing light, red and green make yellow (RGB color model). That's how "red/green/yellow" LEDs work, when both red and green elements are on, the light is yellow.

Toru,

That chicken / penguin in your avatar... Is that from the old "Wallace and Gromit" claymation movies? If so, I believe that was the penguin that tried to rob the bank, and was caught, was it not?

LOL! That's the one! My favorite had to have been "A Close Shave" (with the sheep) but "A Grand Day Out" (trip to the moon) was pretty good too! :D

i'll second that part about the bulbs not being very bright. i tried it when i did my cluster swap, and i just ended up taking the red bulbs back. :rolleyes:

Yep, it's Feathers McGraw, the criminal mastermind from the Wallace & Gromit film, "The Wrong Trousers".
