5mm (5v) LED's
LED's require very little power, and produce little heat when
compared to normal filament based bulbs and are Ideal to be run from
a battery pack. These miniature (5mm) LED's incorporate a in-built
series resistor enabling the LED to be directly connected to a 5V or
12V (depending on purchase) supply lines without the normal hassle
of fitting a resister. All devices are intensity and colour matched
and housed in diffused coloured packages. Cathode identified by flat
