If you're interested in modding your flowlight colors, here's some info that can help:
- G1 and G2 flowlight have a constant current driver and changing out the LED colors doesn't require any resistor changes. G2.5 onwards do not have a constant current driver and will require resistor changes.
- Check the circuit board for date and model. Boards dated 01.12 or later are G2.5 up.
- We use 5mm, 30 degree LEDs, though any beam angle will work, it will affect the distribution of light.
- Self-color changing, “tracer” or IC LEDs that have an internal "Integrated Circuit" to produce effects within the LED itself will only work properly in BOLD mode. Every other mode pulses the LEDs and they will constantly reset to their first color and never change. An exception is our “spectrum” flowlights, which have special circuitry that pulses their LEDs without resetting the LED’s IC. This may not work with all other IC LEDs on the market, experiment at your own risk.
- Phosphor-tracer leds, like pink with red phosphor, can be cool, as they leave their “tracer” between every blip of the LED in every mode. This is an analogue effect caused by the latency of the phosphor, which causes it continue glowing after power has been removed from the led. The pink, for example, is actually a blue led with a red phosphor coating.
If you can document what you do, we can put it on our social media to enable other people who are interested in modding their lights :)
