Fade each color of RGB LED's with 555 / 4029

Ill have these components in about 10 days or so. I was able to get all the components on a 40mm board. Laying down the 300R caps and the TIPs are on the opposite side. they will also be laid down.

Alternative RGB LED using individual Rectangular LEDs of each color Red Green & Blue. Id use a bit of epoxy to glue them up. What are your thoughts about the luminosity of using these. Here are the specs of the LED.


Red

Blue

Did you check the size of 1500uF 10V capacitors? 10mm dia by 12mm long. Instead you've gone with 470uF caps - 10mmx10mm a huge saving of a whole 2mm.

I certainly meant no disrespect. I was just have a bit of fun. Ive got so little room for the board though. I do have 1000uf and 330uf both rated 16v and there is a big difference in size. I am however ordering the parts to test both circuit variations for i appreciate you and everyone here.
