Adafruit Diffused 'Piranha' Super-flux RGB (tri-color) LED (10 pack)

Dffused 5mm tri-color LEDs house separate red, green, and blue LED chips for diverse illumination solutions. Their ultra-bright design serves as both an effective indicator and an engaging color-swirl feature, boasting a 90-degree viewing angle for optimal light dispersion.

With a Common-Anode configuration, these LEDs simplify circuit integration by requiring only one pin connection to a power source, while tying the other three legs to ground via resistors. This design is compatible with various multi-LED driver chips such as the TLC5940/TLC5941, ensuring seamless installation in electronic projects.

This value pack includes 10 LEDs with a diffused lens size of 0.3"/7.6mm per side, often referred to as 'Super flux' or the 'Piranha' type. Their specifications include wavelengths of 620 nm (Red), 517 nm (Green), and 460 nm (Blue). Typical brightness levels are 800 mcd for Red, 1500 mcd for Green, and 700 mcd for Blue, totaling 3000 mcd of impressive luminance.

Ideal for breadboard projects with a diagonal plug-in capability, these LEDs have forward voltage ratings of 1.8-2.2V (Red) and 3.0-3.3V (Green and Blue) at a current of 20mA. Whether you're exploring electronics or improving an existing setup, these LEDs offer a reliable and vibrant lighting solution.
