5mm Frosted LEDs - 20 Pieces of Each Color
Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and White
Diffused lens 5mm LEDs are incredibly bright with a wide beam angle. They're suitable for your projects, illuminations, car lighting, models, or anywhere you need low-power, high-intensity reliable lighting or indication. They fit easily into a breadboard and add that extra zing to your project.
The lens has a frosted effect, which distributes the light evenly. Excellent for use in all types of indicators where an unfocused light is desirable. They work well mounted in our 5mm Chrome or Black Plastic LED Bezels, and the light produced from the Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, or White LED appears very crisp and clean.
The 5mm T1 3/4 LED is the most common size of LED available.
Looking for 3mm LED Assortment? We also have a 3mm LED Hobby Pack available too.

LED Series Dropping Resistor
Each light-emitting diode (LED) has an optimal and maximum current that it can safely handle. Going beyond that maximum current, even briefly, may damage the LED internally without any visible signs. The damage can include reduced intensity, inconsistent power requirements, heating, or shortened useful life. Thus, limiting the current through the LED using a series resistor is a necessary and straightforward practice.
The chart below lists LED models along with the supply voltages. From there, determine the value of the Series Dropping Resistor.
