LED brightness ratings (MCD)
(1/1)
Cornchip:
 Just looking for some input on MCD (brightness) of LED's needed for button illumination. Is there a recommended rating I should start with? I'm guessing better than 5000mcd is a good start. I used GGG's button blasters on my last build. They had no ratings...so I have nothing to go by.

 Cornchip.

I used some 16000mcds on my last illuminated panel.
Probably could have guided planes in if they were outside. Very bright but all good under the buttons.
patrickl:
I think you also need to look at the angle at which the light is spread.
Cornchip:
  I'll definitely worry about the viewing angle of the LED as you mentioned. Thanks for the heads up.
