Innovative, eye catching colour change 10mm LED. Contains an inbuilt IC that causes the LED to cycle through the red, green and blue elements, individually and then in combination. Colours complete a cycle every 33 seconds. Ideal for use in audio systems, warning devices, indication panels, alarm systems, mood lighting, toys and games. Clear lens.
Q. A circuit diagram please to use one of these LED's from 5 volt supply
A. Hi Ken, thank you for your question. As long as the 5V is fixed and regulated proceed as follows: the longer leg of the LED goes to the positive and the shorter leg goes to the negative. The LED will then light up.
Q. If I'm using a 9V battery to power 4 of these LEDs, what resistor will I need?
A. Hi Das. Thank you for your question. This will depend how you intend to connect them. They have a Vf of 4.5V so you can connect 2 in series to use on a 9V supply with no resistor – this is the maximum you can have in series. If you have 2 strings in parallel – each of 2 leds in series then no resistor is required at all. If you intend to have all 4 in parallel – each LED ill require a resistor of between 225 and 300 Ohms - any resistor above 0.1W will be suitable.
62-0356 is 270 Ohm 0.25W and will work well.
Q. If I'm using a 9 volt battery to power this LED, what type of resistor will I need? Thanks
A. Hi Tim, thanks for your question. A 225 ohm resistor will be needed for use on this colour cycling clear LED.
Reviews
Great colour quality and light spread

As the title of this review reads, these led's are exactly what i needed in terms of good quality colour and light spread. I work with back lit lighting and often need led options that are bright, clear and have a large viewing angle. In close proximity spaces they will need a reflector. if you want a flat spread.
