We have a whole bunch of LEDs and we have a new tutorial to go with them!


Rgbledpack Lrg
Diffused RGB 5mm LED (25 pack). Diffused 5mm tri-color LEDs with separate red, green and blue LED chips inside! Nice indicator, and fun to color-swirl. 60 degree viewing angle. We like diffused RGB LEDs because they color mix inside instead of appearing as 3 distinct LEDs. These are Common-Anode type which means you connect one pin to 5V or so and then tie the other three legs to ground through a resistor. We carry and use CA more than CC because multi-LED driver chips (such as the TLC5940/TLC5941) are often designed exclusively for CA and can’t be used with Common-Cathode.


Blueled Lrg
Super Bright Blue 5mm LED (25 pack). Need some really bright LEDs? We are big fans of these clear blue LEDs, in fact we use them exclusively in our kits. They are very bright and have about 20degree LED beam. They go easily into a breadboard and will add that extra zing to your project.


Greenled Lrg
Super Bright Green 5mm LED (25 pack). Need some really bright LEDs? We are big fans of these clear green LEDs, in fact we use them exclusively in our kits. They are very bright and have about 20degree LED beam. They go easily into a breadboard and will add that extra zing to your project.


Diffusedredled Lrg
Diffused Red 5mm LED (25 pack). Need some indicators? We are big fans of these diffused red LEDs, in fact we use them exclusively in our kits. They are fairly bright so they can be seen in daytime, and from any angle. They go easily into a breadboard and will add that extra zing to your project.
