I was bored last night so I took apart a compact-vhs camcorder from 1990 that had been sitting in our closet.
I found this interesting RGB LED that was used as the filming light on the front of the thing.
I expect it's somewhat high-power but since the camera wasn't working before I took it apart I couldn't measure any voltages or see it in action.
There are 10 leads and no numbers.
It doesn't ohm out like individual LED's and I'm hesitant to apply too much voltage to it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
