How can you change the green to blue?

I just read in a post talking about the light on a center channel speaker, and was surprised to see two responses about changing the green amp on lights from green to blue. That's funny, because I was going to ask that question, but thought it was kind of silly. I've got a pair of RT2000i's and hate those green lights. All of my equipment has blue or whitish/blue light. I would like to change the color to a blue light to match everything else. Has anyone changed the lights color? Can it be done without harming anything? I know I could just put black tape over the lights, but I would like some sort or signal to let me know the amp is on and when it goes off. Thanks

    Aside from the mechanics of actually getting in there to do it, I think all that it would amount to is changing a LED. Finding a compatible blue LED might be tough. It would be more trouble than it would be worth to ME. You could always ask customer service about it.

    I think jcaut is right. Changing to a compatible blue led is probably the right course.
    But..finding the right led, anyway let me know if you figure it out.
    Gotta dig that blue light.

    Can you even get BLUE LED's? I just did a quick search and couldn't find anyone selling any. Perhaps there's some sort of filter material you could put over the green to make it appear blue..

    "Perhaps there's some sort of filter material you could put over the green to make it appear blue."

    I think this is going to be the least labor intensive and most practical way to solve this problem. Having said that, I don't have anything off of the top of my head to advise. Is the light itself green, or is it a white light that illuminates a green, shaded bulb? Does the question that I just asked make any sense? Is this really that big of a deal?

    I sell blue photon lights at work.

    also red, yellow, etc.

    btw, photon lights are those little led keychain lights, last forever.

    jcaut, you can get blue LED's, the blue photon's may cause more of a problem than they solve though, cause they will probably appear brighter than the green do. you can get blue LED's though, there are a little harder to find, but they are out there...

    I found two places that have blue LED's. Radio Shack has two, #276-316 ($3.99) and #276-311 ($2.99) both of which are 5mm. The first one has an intensity of 2600MCD while the latter is 300MCD. Personally I have no clue what an MCD is. The catalog lists some other differences too, best to ask at the store if you've got one near you. Parts Express has a 5mm ultra-bright blue LED, #070-008 ($3.35) 1200MCD.

    Right, wasn't talking about your effort to assist, but instead the pursuit of a solution to this "problem". Believe me, I'm very appreciative of your effort to assist and your expertise in doing so.
