LED STD 3MM

Description

The 3mm 2-pin "Flash All Color" LED is a compact, self-contained multi-color diode that cycles through a full spectrum of colors automatically. Because it features a built-in integrated circuit (IC) to manage the flashing sequence, it requires only a simple power source rather than a complex external controller.Features and OperationAuto-Cycling: Once powered, the LED sequentially displays seven colors: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, and White.Flash Variants: These are commonly available in two modes: Fast Flash (rapid color changes for high-energy effects) and Slow Fade/Flash (smooth transitions for ambient lighting).Lens Type: Usually comes with a water-clear lens, which provides high brightness (up to 5,000–8,000 mcd) and a narrow viewing angle of roughly 20° to 30°.2-Pin Simplicity: Features only an anode (longer leg) and a cathode (shorter leg), making it as easy to wire as a standard single-color LED. Technical SpecificationsAccording to data from EDGELEC and Most Electronics, these are the typical operating parameters for the 3mm variant:Forward Voltage: Typically 3.0V – 3.2V DC.Forward Current: Rated for a maximum of 20mA.Power Consumption: Approximately 0.06W.Operating Temperature: Generally safe from -25°C to +85°C.
