I've seen the cardboard disc colored ⅓ red ⅓ green and ⅓ blue. Spin it fast enough and it will turn white. This is like the opposite. Neat.

@@yoprofmatt If I get the opportunity again I may buy one of these. Have you heard of the "CMY Cubes"? Also very interesting. May think about getting one of those also.

Interestingly I can see the different colours flashing 'all' the time and rarely see just the white bulb. I wonder why? Perhaps either I have 'cones' that absorb colour very quickly or, and I favour this to be more likelier, this 'effect' works 'properly' only when viewed directly by the eye and not via camera sensors whose processors record using far more frames per second than us, this causes the visual effect (constant white when stationary) to be far less prominent or noticeable?

Second interpretation totally correct. Recording this on camera messes up the effect. Cheers, Dr. A

Excellent idea! Maybe we're a tad late? Cheers, Dr. A
