Our purple LED (which we wanted to use just for cool points) was too dim, and there was nothing we could do about it. We switched to green, and it was so bright that it would over-saturate.

We set the exposure using the method Greg McKaskle suggested -- we shined an eWatt bulb at it from six inches away, set the exposure to 'hold', and then worked from there -- the previously washed-out squares popped nice and green.
