non-UV purple

[DazMode]

I think RGB purple is safe, as it really mix of Blue and Red wavelengths. Mono-colored purple will be UV regardless it's marketing name.

Okay, so if I do not want to take any chances, even long-term, I should ditch the purple LED idea because purple = UV (what a bummer, man).

I was going to get the Bitfenix Alchemy's because they did not have UV anywhere in their description, but I guess I can scratch that idea.

Sagan said UV light could possibly create life:
Sagan, Carl |ˈsāgən|
(1934–96), US astronomer; full name Carl Edward Sagan. He showed that amino acids can be synthesized in an artificial primordial soup irradiated by ultraviolet light, as a model for a possible mechanism of the origin of life on Earth. He wrote several popular science books and coproduced the television series Cosmos (1980).

So what does this have to do with your silly RGB light strips?

Can I program the Darkside RGB strips for 410.1 nm light? And tell me, does this kill bacteria in my loop?

You right, that actually would make synthesised purple looking color, but it will have glowing properties as much as Blue component of the RGB 3-color chip can provide you.

C'n guys, this is juniour high school physics ... Purple = UV.

after 410nm glowing effect goes down to hill.

Maybe Maple Leaf foods should have bought some Darkside lighting strips and could have avoided the problems with lysteria.

Hahahahahahaha I couldn't resist bugging the guy with a Junior High school education in wavelength and spectrum physics.

im a fan of acrylic but, this is true with a very high UV source, a led strips dont have enough UV to do anything to a PETG tubing or yes but take a lot of time (if not years) to do somthings

direct under SUN on equator, yes tubing will have some issue

Canadian junior high apparently sucks TONS compared to where you're from Daz. We never learned any of that stuff!

What about the UV effect on PETG hard tube? That true?

The Bitfenix Alchemy Connect 2.0 LEDs are reputed to be a purple LED. Other options are to buy RGB LEDs like Darkside version from Dazmode.com and just run them in "purple" mode in one of two ways: Using the remote control to put them in purple mode, or just cross connecting the pertinent red and blue contacts at the same voltage level for a true purple. I've done the remote control version and been happy with the results.

On the other hand, I wouldn't worry too much about the UV light from LEDs as it's probably not high enough intensity to deteriorate PETG tubing before you'd replace it or tear it down. The purple LED fans from Corsair are actually UV LEDs so for your purposes they won't be appropriate.

Hi, I am looking for non-UV purple LED's to put inside my Corsair 900D case along with my PETG tubing. I have read that extended periods of exposure to UV light can make PETG tubing unstable. Most sites through which I search, though, have only 'UV purple' LED's and not just regular, 'non-UV purple' LED's. Could anyone direct me to a site or sites (competition lowers prices) that actually have non-UV purple LED's?

Thanks!
