We also bought the FIRST choice green LED ring. At first we thought it wasn't bright enough because the target only looked a little brighter with the LEDs on, but when we extracted the green color plane from the image the target was well illuminated and easy to find (with a vision algorithm). Don't write off the green LEDs until you've done that.
