I am thinking of making my own saber with flash on clash. To do this I need a tri-color with one of the colors being white. Has anyone tried to mix two other colors to create a yellow?

I am planning on using a NB with a power Xtender for the sound w/ flash-on-clash

Couldn't you swap out the white diode for an amber one to get the yellow?

The amber is more orange than yellow. I also need the white diode for the clash color

Also does anyone know what kind of LED the sentinel yellow is? I was thinking I could buy one without flash-on-clash and modify it for a white clash. Any problems with that?

Bellator - It's a combination of Green & Red diodes.  You need to tune it to Yellow via resistors on the LEDs.

I've made a custom LED from Luxeon before. If you are good with soldering (this is harder than soldering wires in my opinion), you can go to

I did Lime - 313, Lime - 313, Deep Red - 640 mW and I got a little too light of a yellow.

Try getting Lime - 313, Red - 106, and 6500k cool white - 220

would that cool white be used for the yellow or for the flash-on-clash color?

Being a student with no income, and the hilt costing so much. I was wondering if anyone knew of a color combo that worked for them/friend or if they knew of a LED color testing website so I could make a reasonably good yellow the first time around.
