Hey guys,
I'm finishing up my Ego Driver and was about to fire away and solder up the led clipping mod when I had a thought about incorporating the LED's into part of the design of the enclosure (ala the owl eyes I've seen here with the Tremolo build). As sound is WAY more important to me, is there any disadvantage to using 3mm water clears instead of the 5mm? Has anyone tried this? I'm still new to understanding how all of this stuff works. I figured that if color has anything to do with it, then size might matter. (no punn intended)
Thanks yet again

theoretically, that should not change anything.
This will be good to know- I plan to build and Ego Driver and I have seen other projects with LED clipping and I was thinking the same thing about using them in the enclosure design. Be sure to post your build up so we can see what you come up with!

The sound comes from the forward voltage of the LED, which is supposed to the the same for 3mm and 5mm LEDs of the same type. High brightness and norma LED will sound different as their forward voltage is not the same.
I'm 95% certain to be correct in this, but maybe one of the forum gurus will say the opposite and i'll learn something new today =)
Sounds about right.
I like the sound of diffused LEDs more than water clears if that helps.
