Diffused Red Indicator LED - 15mm Square

This LED is really chunky! It's larger than the average LED, with a big, bold, and beautiful diffused body that's about 15mm square. Inside, there's a red LED with a forward voltage of about 2.1V. Just add a resistor in series and connect it to a battery or microcontroller pin, and you'll get a gorgeous glow. It's a great addition to control panels, cosplay, or art projects. It fits easily into a breadboard and will add an extra cool touch to your project. If you need help using LEDs, check out our 'Introduction to using LEDs' tutorial for any electronics project.

Using this LED is a breeze. First, connect a resistor in series with the LED. Then, you can connect it to a battery or a microcontroller pin. Once connected, it'll start to glow beautifully. When it comes to projects, it's super versatile. You can use it in control panels, cosplay outfits, or art projects. It easily fits into a breadboard, so you don't have to worry about complex set - ups. As for precautions, make sure to use the correct resistor to avoid over - voltage issues. Don't connect it to a power source that exceeds its forward voltage of about 2.1V. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft cloth.
