Product Description
White LEDs in the standard 5 mm form factor are the foundation for lighting projects in prototype development. The soldered wires allow direct connection to circuits without an additional socket. With a lifetime of approximately 100000 hours, these diodes are suitable for continuous operation over extended periods.
Each LED requires a series resistor to prevent overcurrent. With a typical 5 V power supply, this is usually between 150 and 220 ohms, depending on the desired brightness. The quantity of 1000 units covers projects ranging from individual status indicators to arrays with several hundred light points.
Illuminated display boards, status lights on test setups, display backlighting, and decentralized lighting for experimental setups are typical applications. Larger educational projects can also use this quantity to create appealing visual feedback, such as a light matrix for visually debugging programs.
Observe the LED polarity when soldering: the longer wire is the anode (positive), and the shorter one is the cathode (negative). Depending on the circuit, a suitable power supply is also required in addition to the LED and series resistor.
Safety Notice
Observe the correct LED polarity when soldering. This product is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes. The material is not intended for installation in household mains circuits.
