I bought these by accident instead of 3mm red LEDs. I assume they will not function the same in a circuit since they mention on the site that the don't need CLRs. Can anyone provide any insight on if these would be good for anything? I purchased them because I was running low on red LED clipping diodes and didn't realize that these are something else entirely.

Thanks!
They work perfectly as led, without a clear. I personally really like them, but haven't used them for a while. They do get a little warmer than an led would though.
They won't work at all for clipping though.
