not as far as i know, i just switched them and they worked fine, the only thing is to take care of the poles (+/-), cause leds are directionsensitive

LED Type

Hey guys,

Just wondering if any one has any information about the LED type that is used so that I can find a replacement. Is it also possible to find another bi-colour type?

24

Hey blindset,

The LEDs are not bi color… They just use 2 3mm thru-hole LEDs for each button. I think you will get away with pretty much anything that comes in a 3mm package.

25

Thanks midifidler! With the Black VCI-100s, I noticed that they are only blue LEDs, do they use two LEDs per button or just connect the single LED to both connections?

26

I would also like to do this blue LED mod. Any links to places selling some appropriate LEDs?

27

I dont quite follow your question there Blindset, can you reiterate?
Im pretty sure you will find white led and a blue led under each of the buttons.

This is the sorta LED you want, Farnell ships out of the UK as well …

Thanks for the link!

I think that Blindset means that under each button thers a green and a yellow LED. Do you pull them out and put two or just one blue LED back in? If only on, how should it be placed?

midfidler, you say one white and one blue LED under each button. Whats the white one used for?

29

Can anyone confirm that in the VCI-100SE the yellow LED has been replaced by a white LED, and the Green LED has been replaced by a blue LED?

With ya now,
Yes definitely White + Blue

Thanks alot!

I am actually thinking about switching the colours, so that e.g. the transport buttons lights blue when not engaged, and white when pushed.

VCI LED Mod to Blue and White

Hi Guys, I decided to mod the LEDs on my VCI to blue and white just recently and it took a Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t until I got near the end that I thought I should have made a video - anyway, I did video some of it and have posted it on you tube.
Here’s the link with some details;
