Description
These 5mm RGB LEDs feature a diffused lens and a common anode (longest pin) design, ideal for smooth blended colour mixing.
With red, green, and blue elements in one package, you can produce nearly any colour by adjusting brightness levels via PWM or digital control.
Perfect for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontroller based projects, these LEDs offer a versatile solution for visual effects, indicators, lighting displays, and prototyping.
