Title: Sub-miniture light bulb
Post by: cajone5 on August 16, 2016, 01:04:36 PM
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.
