Description
These versatile 5mm Bi Colour LEDs feature a water-clear lens and emit both red and blue light from a single package, making them ideal for colourful displays, indicators, status lights, and DIY electronics projects.
Each LED has a common cathode with three leads: one shared ground and two anodes for independent red and blue control. Combine signals for dual-colour effects or toggle between hues for dynamic status indication.
With high brightness (up to 8000mcd for blue), a wide viewing angle, and a clear round lens, these LEDs are perfect for hobbyists, prototyping, and educational use.
