Adafruit Diffused 5mm Fast Flashing RGB LED - 10 pack

These intriguing 5mm diffused RGB LEDs simplify control with just two leads—power and ground—instead of the usual four. This innovation allows for hassle-free integration into projects where space and simplicity are key.

When powered, these LEDs deliver a captivating flashing effect across the full color spectrum. Each LED includes a pre-programmed microchip, ensuring consistent performance. While the sequence and rate are fixed, this ensures trouble-free operation without needing external customization.

The LEDs provide impressive brightness, estimated at approximately 1000 mcd, making them highly visible from various angles due to their excellent diffusion. With a forward voltage of about 3.4V DC, they work efficiently with a standard lithium coin cell, such as a CR2032, albeit with slightly reduced brightness.

The power consumption depends on the voltage; roughly 20 mA at the rated 3.4V and around 10 mA at 3.0V. This energy efficiency makes them suitable for battery-powered applications where longevity is desired.

Sold in packs of 10, the LEDs may exhibit slight variations in synchronization due to manufacturing differences, providing a uniquely dynamic light display. Ideal for projects requiring simple yet effective visual effects without the complexity of programmable RGB configurations. Enjoy the seamless blend of colors and lights that make every application visually compelling.
