TIMESQUARE brightest LED color?
Which color of LED is the brightest in the TIMESQUARE kit? I am buying this for me son and he will need to use it in sunlight.

Re: TIMESQUARE brightest LED color?
In sunlight, the LED brightness is less important than blocking ambient light from flooding the 'spots.' There's a trick shown at the bottom of this page, using Kapton tape:

Kapton will probably work best with the 'warm' colors -- Red or Tangerine, or perhaps White.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Does anyone know which is the brightest LED color for this watch? In addition to working in sunlight I think my son would like it if the watch was bright.
