Looking for illuminating indicators? We're huge fans of these Clear White LEDs! They're super bright and visible during the day, with a viewing angle of about 20 degrees. These 3mm LEDs fit easily into a breadboard, adding a special touch to your project. Here are the details: a pack of 25 clear white LEDs, 3.0 - 3.4V forward voltage at 20mA current, and over 500 mcd. The LEDs are usually around 5000K in color temperature, though there might be slight batch - to - batch variations. Each 25 - piece bag has LEDs of the same color temperature, but different bags may vary. 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 a forward voltage between 3.0 - 3.4V at 20mA current. Then, gently insert the LEDs into your breadboard. They'll start shining bright right away, helping you add cool lighting effects to your project. As for the color temperature, don't be surprised if there are small differences between different packs. Each pack of 25 has the same color, but when you use multiple packs, you might notice variations. When it comes to maintenance, keep them away from excessive heat and moisture. And if you're new to using LEDs, our 'Introduction to using LEDs' tutorial is a great place to start. Have fun with your projects!
