A DIY took it upon himself to mount a custom LED to his existing E-lite, except that these LED’s are controlable, a feature that he was missing in the original E-Lite. He goes on to describe in his own words: “I wanted to get a controllable color range for the e-lite, so I rigged up a couple pieces of 1-1/4″ aluminum L-bar that bolt onto the e-lite. I used four white and four royal blue Cree XR-Es with 3023 buckpucks from ledsupply. So far I’m liking it, although my next pass at it will likely use 6 blues and 2 whites, as the white XR-Es (Q5 bin) are so powerful that by my estimates 1 white to 2 blue ratio would be sufficient to get a 12-25k+ color range.” It’s been several months for the PFO patent lawsuit and we still haven’t heard anything come out of Orbitec yet, as a result we will start seeing more and more custom DIY installations take place as the market goes tired of waiting for a commercial products to come out on its own.
