DIY RGB Lights?

Hello,

I was just wondering if I could ask a LED question?

I’m planning on buying or building some lights and the ones I’m really enamoured with are led flex panels, they just seem so portable and versatile.

However, all of the instructions I have seen online are for standard white lights, but is there any reason I couldn’t use RGB LEDs, so I could control the colour without gels? Is there a significant power loss caused by using RGB LEDs? Or some other disadvantage?

I mean, 90% of the time I’d probably be using white light, but having the option would be handy.
