I received my light kit in the mail today, but the 15 leds on the main board are white. Aren’t they supposed to be blue? Can anyone offer any suggestions? ---

They’re supposed to be white. You place a blue lense (available for sale in the GBFANS shop) over the opening of the pack shell - making the lights appear blue. ---

In the description for the light kit you can follow a link for documentation, when it tells you what the kit includes, number one is:  15 Wide angle Blue LEDs on the main [Power Cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) circuit board ---

Huh. That’s weird. The kit I got from the shop last year had white LEDs too. I had assumed the blue colour came from the lense I used. Well I guess you could either swap them all out for blue LEDs or use a blue lense over the [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) opening. Were you going to use a clear lense? ---

The description for the light kit I see says this: "New for 2016. Surface Mount LEDs available in a warm white light to mimic the original incandescent lights more closely! New LED wire harness allows for replacing the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) LEDs to be any color you choose. (Red is standard, other colors available from your local electronic supply store). " ---

Ah. I see what you’re saying about the documentation link. Yeah, that is weird. You’ll want to bring that up with AJ. There’s definitely a contradiction in description here. But I think they’re supposed to be white. It’s an easy fix if you use the blue lense cover. ---

Thanks a lot for your response. I have sent an email to AJ, see what he says. In the mean time I’m going to try and use a transparent blue vinyl over the opening to see if it will give the lights the blue light that I want. Thanks again for your feedback. ---

No worries! Best of luck on your build. If it makes you feel better, I think many of us have used a blue lense or gel to make the [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) light appear blue. ---

It is supposed to be white LEDs. The blue comes from the blue lens you put over them like Naptime said. ---

The old version of the GBFans pack light kit had blue LED’s for the [Power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) and red LED’S for the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron). I used the kit in my Stantz build. The new version is warm white LED’s, the documentation just hasn’t been updated ---

The new version is better…The blue leds behind the blue lens actually makes the lights a bit duller whereas with the white leds they appear brighter behind the blue lens. ---

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I used blue transparent vinyl for the blue effect. [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/6/062585a4be5fbc6fae6a849bc361535d0ece6bcf.jpeg "GB Fans light kit") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsYybWBIToE)
