Description
A Super Bright 5mm LED is exceptionally bright with a wide beam angle, so they’re suitable for use in your projects, illuminations, headlamps, spotlights, car lighting, and models. The 5mm LED can be used anywhere where you need low power, high-intensity reliable light, or indication. They go quickly into a breadboard and will add that extra zing to your project.
Features
- Size and Form Factor: The 5mm LED is a through-hole component with a physical lens diameter of approximately 5mm.
- Low Power Consumption: It operates at a low current of around 20mA, making it energy-efficient and suitable for battery-powered devices.
- High Brightness and Intensity: Despite its low power, a 5mm LED provides high-intensity light, making it effective for illumination and indicators.
- Long Lifespan and Reliability: 5mm LEDs are durable and offer a long operational life, reducing maintenance.
- Standard Viewing Angle: It has a standard viewing angle, typically around 30 degrees, for a focused beam.
- UV Resistance: The epoxy used for the lens is often UV resistant, providing durability.
