How to Tell The Difference Between AI Blue and Sol Blue?

I just got six modules from my LFS, which are supposed to be Super Sol Blue, the latest versions w/ the Blue, Royal Blue and white LEDs. The controller only lets me set the Blue and white levels. The color of the two blues look virtually identical.

How do I tell whether these guys have the 3 different LED colors, or whether it is the older version?

Any help is appreciated.

Herb

Hold a module on at full power up very close to a wall so the LEDs are as focused as possible. If it is the tri-color puck you will be able to see the difference between the royal and the normal blue.

Simply upgrade to the latest firmware via the AI site to have control over all three colors.

Well, I had whatever came w/ it and upgraded the firmware to the latest non-beta firmware that is on the AI website (1.01). The two blue LEDs look identical in color. Is there a item number or some marking on the box and/or modules that indicates the specific version?
