Blue Diffused LEDs

darkzero · Dec 26, 2005

Anyone know where I can buy blue 3mm and 5mm LEDs, diffused, milky white in off state? For use as indicators, etc., rather than the common water clear ones used for lighting.

I have only a few 3mm ones left and would like to get more. The 5mm ones I have never found but then again I never searched really good.

EDIT: Ok the 5mm ones I found for an incredible price. Still looking for the 3mms.

Sure are but they're all water clear epoxy cases. I'm looking for diffused.

I was in the same position you are in now. Was unable to find any 1 year ago, so decided to carefully sand (rough up the surface to diffuse intensity)down the Agilent HP blue, as well as orange leds and they make for Bright indicators.

I use them for my "nitrous arming switch" on my car.

Just a thought. :popcorn:

Toyoda Gosei makes a blue-tinted sorta-diffused LED that appears on
eBay somewhat frequently, such as item number 3861486615...
