T1-3/4 (5mm) RGB LED with Diffused Lens (5-pack)

The Pololu T1-3/4 (5mm) RGB LED with Diffused Lens is a pack of five multi-colored LEDs that are capable of producing a wide variety of hues. Each LED contains red, green, and blue (RGB) elements that can be mixed to create different colors. The three color elements share a common anode and are encased in a diffused white lens. This lens not only blends the colors but also broadens the viewing angle, making the colors more vibrant and noticeable.

These LEDs are versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. For instance, they can be integrated into electronic projects that require color-changing effects, such as mood lights, decorative lights, or interactive art installations. Moreover, they can be used in robotics to indicate different states or conditions, or in user interfaces to provide visual feedback.

One of the key benefits of the Pololu T1-3/4 (5mm) RGB LED with Diffused Lens is its ability to produce multiple colors from a single source. This feature not only simplifies the design and assembly process but also saves space and reduces costs. Furthermore, the shared anode design makes it easier to control the color output, offering more flexibility and creativity in creating custom lighting effects.

Another unique property of these LEDs is their diffused white lens. Unlike clear lenses, which can result in harsh or concentrated light, the diffused lens softens the light and spreads it evenly across a wider viewing angle. This results in a more pleasant and eye-catching light effect, making these LEDs ideal for applications where aesthetics and visibility are important.
