Description
These compact 5mm bi colour LEDs feature both red and green light in a single clear lens with a common cathode configuration.
Perfect for status indicators, DIY electronics, and multicolour signal displays.
Each LED has separate anodes for red and green, allowing individual or mixed control to produce red, green, or amber output depending on how they’re driven.
