    Never tried leds behind glowfill. I’d assume you’d want as close to green as you can get, blue and green mixed doesn’t make green I’d think :)

    Thank you for the reply. The answer has to do with quantum physics. The blue LED imparts more energy to excite the "glow in the dark" filament. I found that a UV LED will make the filament glow the brightest.
