Key Features:

• Bright red light output with wide viewing angle

• Standard 5mm diffused round LED for versatile use

• Low forward voltage for energy-efficient performance

• Perfect for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, microcontrollers

• Ideal for indicator lights, prototyping, and DIY kits

Product Description (Detailed):

This 5mm Red LED is a widely used diffused light-emitting diode that provides a clear, visible glow for signaling and status indication. Its frosted lens design spreads the light evenly, making it ideal for educational electronics, indicator circuits, and hobbyist projects.

Whether you're building an Arduino blinking LED circuit, designing a signal panel, or experimenting with breadboard projects, this LED is a reliable and essential component. It’s designed to operate at low voltage and current, ensuring long life and safe use with controllers.

Technical Specifications:

How to Use:

1. Connect the anode (+) to 5V or a GPIO pin via a current-limiting resistor (typically 220Ω).

2. Connect the cathode (−) to ground (GND).

3. Place on a breadboard or solder to PCB for signal indication, power status, or output feedback.

4. Works with all major platforms: Arduino, STM32, ATmega, ESP8266, ESP32, etc.

 Use with a resistor to prevent LED burnout.

Example Circuit with Arduino:

Here’s a simple example of how to use a 5mm red LED with an Arduino to blink the LED on and off:

int ledPin = 13; // Pin where the LED is connected

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as output
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn the LED off
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}

In this example, the red LED is connected to pin 13 on the Arduino, and it will blink on and off every second.

Applications:

• LED blink programs in Arduino and microcontroller projects

• Power-on or signal indicators in circuits

• DIY electronics and STEM kits

• Learning electronics through breadboarding

• Status display in embedded systems
