Title: Help---need a few 5mm leds **NEVERMIND**
Post by: whammoed on February 10, 2006, 07:29:09 pm

I am doing some custom pcbs and i would like them to work either with 3mm or 5mm leds ( or at least find out which works better)  and need  a few 5mm to do some testing.  I have hundreds of the 3mm  :-\ .  I don't want to buy a big lot of them until I know they work in the space given.  I am hoping someone with a bunch of 5mm leds won't mind throwing a few in an envelope for me.  I am looking for super bright orange or red or white.  Viewing angle doesn't matter but I do need to know the volts and amps obviously.
(If I'm an idiot and there is a place I can just go buy a few of these let me know)
PM me if you can help me out.

thanks!

turns out the design I was considering which led size may matter is a no go.  The other design I am working on looks like a go regardless of led size (works with both)

thanks anyway and nevermind  :D
