Diffused LED - Blue 10mm

Take a look at these large 10mm through-hole LEDs from Sparkfun! The opaque epoxy package gives these LEDs a gentle, diffused glow, making them perfect for any project that requires a soft, ambient light.

Key Features:

• Blue light with a wavelength of 465-470nm
• Requires a forward voltage of 3.0-3.4VDC
• Operates at a forward current of 20mA
• Offers a viewing angle of 40 degrees
• Produces an output of 100-150 MCD

These LEDs are perfect for a variety of applications. Whether you're creating a mood light, designing a custom electronic device, or adding a visual alert to an existing system, these LEDs will deliver. They are especially useful in low-light environments where a soft, diffused light is preferable.

What sets these LEDs apart is their size. At 10mm, they are larger than many standard LEDs, making them a noticeable and impactful addition to your project. The blue light they emit is not only vibrant but also falls within a wavelength of 465-470nm, ideal for many electronics applications.

Operating these LEDs is straightforward. They require a forward voltage of 3.0-3.4VDC and a forward current of 20mA. Plus, with a viewing angle of 40 degrees, they provide a wide field of illumination.

Lastly, these LEDs are not just about size and brightness. They also deliver in terms of light output, producing 100-150 MCD. This makes them a powerful component in any electronics kit.
