Do you think the 3w leds on the green evo could be replaced with any of the leds for sale on rapidled? I would love to use this light but the blue/white ratio definitely needs some work. I have seen an old post where someone switched out the leds on a smaller green evo fixture with a gooseneck but the leds were not 3w and he did not mention which leds he used to do the mod.

I currently have the evo 3w clip on, I bought a 3w uv led from ebay just to try see if I can change it. I'm just waiting for it to arrive then try solder it on. I'll keep you posted Sleepiness.

I would really appreciate the intel. I have had this light for a little over a year now and it has just been lying around since I got my t-5 fixture.
What is the color ratio on your green evo? The fixture I have is 3:1 white:blue. If the mod works are you planning on switching out more leds?
If it does not work, I was just going to buy a supplemental actinic kit and figure out a way to attach it one on each side. I would much rather switch out the leds if possible. Thanks again for the reply, its hard to find any technical information on these things...just trash talk.

This is the thread I was talking about where the guy accomplishes what I would like to do except he has a 1w fixture.

Ive got the 12 inch one with 6x 3w LEDs with 2x Blue in the middle. My goal is to see if I can put other LEDs in it because I dont like the ratio. Im going to take out one of the blue ones and put in a UV 390nm 3w led in its place. If that works I might buy another fixture and change the LEDs in that one as well.
What i really would like to know is, if its possible to change which lights the switch controls.

I am not trained as an electrician but I am sure it can be done. You would have to know a lot more about it than I to accomplish that for sure.

but how do you change which lights the switch controls?
