Random question for anyone that has a green SIID. How long did it take for swelling to go down to see the color accurately? I just tried to scan mine after 24 hours with the swelling and the light appeared red in color and not very bright. I’m hoping that will change over the next week. I was just concerned the colors got mixed up and a red led was placed in to a green box. Probably just my OCD kicking in.

@Devilclarke Might be able to help you. He has a green one. 
It is likely that it is pooled blood…
Have you tried lighting it up in a dark room, looking for any hint of green?
Yeah, I did it in a dark room and it just looked red and definitely not as bright as I’ve seen others to look. Hopefully you’re right about the pooled blood, I’d be so sad if it wasn’t the green chip that I was expecting.
Highly unlikely, But If it was a mistake at DT’s end, Their Customer service is second to none, they WILL sort you out.
FYI the order of brightness is the same order as the image below.
Brightest on the Left ( Green ) to less bright on the Right.
Give it some more time to heal before contacting DT

It’s almost certainly due to the swelling. Just give it a few days. Your body can do lifesaving triage (closing the wound hole) in a few hours, but the rest of the healing proccess takes days or weeks. The swelling will go down and It’ll show up Green soon enough.

It was kinda hard to get a good quality pic. But I’m really afraid this was not the green light it was supposed to be, it’s not bright at all and not green at all. What do you guys think?
We might need @amal to have a look at that.
While you wait, could you please download
TagInfo by NXP
and scan it then and share the page info
Yes but the tag seemed to be taken away too soon. See how it said aborted: tag disappeared.

Well you are obviously able to couple well with the SIID since you managed to write a new record to it. I take it there was no green hint from the light even when writing to it?
Yeah I can write and read just fine, but the light is not green, I’m afraid it could be the amber one which is why it’s so dim and has no color and definitely not the one I wanted.
Definitely doesn’t look like mine, but a sample of 1 is not to be relied on.

I haven’t actually seen an amber, your photos are quite dark.
you have confirmed that it is xSIID
and it is reading fine…I think we may need to wait a little longer for it to heal, but I would have expected to see at least a hint of green in it.
Just to have your ducks lined up, can you check that your invoice says green.
Don’t get too stressed, currently you have a working xSIID and I guarantee you that
@amal or @mdanger to come to the rescue when they see this.
Alternatively
Use the method I said above to contact them, and put in your order/invoice number and maybe a link to this thread

Thank you for your help and suggestions, it is appreciated. The invoice and the box both said green. This would be the second mix-up with this same order if I was sent the wrong color. I was originally sent the wrong chip all together. The Next was shipped to me by accident and Amal personally made sure they got the green SIID to me, if it’s not actually green it just really bums me out.
