looking forward to your pictures. I had a red LED light built for me (S3 host, Red XP-E, QLITE 7135*8 3.04, Noctigon XP16 copper MCPCB from Mountain Electronics) by Mountain Electronics. It definitely is red, but NOT the deep red you are talking about. On high mode, my light is bright, but seems bright other than red if that makes any sense.
thanks for your post….
