Looking for super bright and large indicator LEDs? We're huge fans of these 10mm diffused cool white LEDs. They fit easily into a breadboard, adding a great touch to your project. This pack includes 25 diffused white LEDs. They have a 10mm diameter, a cool white color, a forward voltage of 3.0 - 3.4V at 20mA current, and a brightness of 1,000 mcd. The viewing angle is ±57 degrees, and the maximum continuous current is 20 mA. There's also a datasheet available. If you need help using LEDs, check out our 'Introduction to using LEDs' tutorial for electronics projects.
Using these LEDs is easy. First, make sure your power source can provide the right voltage (3.0 - 3.4V) and current (up to 20mA). Then, gently insert the LEDs into your breadboard. They'll add a great look to your project. When using them, don't exceed the maximum continuous current of 20mA, or it might damage the LEDs. To maintain them, keep them in a dry and cool place. If you run into any problems, refer to the datasheet or our 'Introduction to using LEDs' tutorial for more help.
