Are you in need of large indicators? We're really fond of these large diffused red LEDs. They're quite bright, visible during the day from any angle. They fit easily into a breadboard, adding a special touch to your project. This pack includes 25 diffused red LEDs with a 10mm diameter, 660 nm wavelength. They have a forward voltage of 1.85 - 2.5V at 20mA current and a typical brightness of 1000 mcd. A datasheet is also available. If you need help using LEDs, check out our 'Introduction to using LEDs' tutorial for electronics projects.
Using these LEDs is a breeze. First, insert them into your breadboard as needed. Make sure to connect them with the correct polarity to avoid any issues. When it comes to power, use a power source that provides a voltage between 1.85 - 2.5V at 20mA current to get the best performance. These LEDs are designed to be visible during the day, so they're great for projects where daytime visibility is important. For maintenance, just keep them clean and free from dust.
