Looking for some cool indicators? We're really into these diffused green LEDs, just like the ones on the LoL shield. They're super bright and can be seen clearly during the day from any angle. These LEDs fit easily into a breadboard and will make your project stand out. Here are the details: it's a pack of 25 diffused green LEDs with a 3mm diameter. They have a wavelength of 569 - 572nm, a forward voltage of 2.0 - 2.5V at 20mA current, and a typical brightness of 100+ mcd. If you need help using LEDs, check out our 'Introduction to using LEDs' tutorial for your electronics project.


Using these LEDs is a breeze. First, find a breadboard and gently insert the LEDs into it. They'll start working right away once you connect them to a power source with the right voltage (2.0 - 2.5V at 20mA current). You can see them clearly during the day, no matter which angle you look from. When handling these LEDs, be careful not to bend the pins too much as it might damage them. As for maintenance, just keep them clean and dry. If you're new to using LEDs, don't forget to read our 'Introduction to using LEDs' tutorial for more tips.
