    Does anyone make a fading/blinking bulb which only does Warm colors or Cold colors instead of the full spectrum? So it would rotate thru just Red-orange-yellow or just Blue-purple-green. I like having a fading bulb in the Palintir insert but the cold colors don't really match. There are other places such as behind explosions where that would give a cool effect too.
    I think a blue-light blue-cool white fade would look great in places too. And Green-light green would be good in POTD.

    Not that I know of.

    I have inquired, and in the pure business sense, it is not cost effective...not enough demand.
    A home creation maybe?
    Grab 3 Flex heads, and assemble?

    Haha, I will call it the Tiamat. How would you since the fading?

    Depending on how the faders work (i.e. is there a chip in them that is connected to each of the 3 points of the SMD with a different color?) then you could hack out that part and connect it to 3 separate SMD's lighting up one of the 3 segments of each (to not overdrive the chip) and just pick the 3 colors you want. I've never taken apart a color changer to know how it's implemented but it should be easily hackable.
