Using this LED is easy. First, make sure you have a resistor. Connect the resistor in series with the LED. Then, you can connect the whole setup to a battery or a microcontroller pin. When you do this, the LED will start to glow beautifully. For projects like control panels, cosplay, or art, just place the LED into a breadboard. It'll fit right in and make your project look cooler. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place. Avoid getting it wet as that can damage the LED. If you're new to using LEDs, it's a good idea to read our 'Introduction to using LEDs' tutorial. That way, you'll know all the basics and can use this LED effectively in your electronics projects.
