Review on πŸ”¦ Chanzon 60 pcs Assortment Kit Pack of 3mm LED Diode Lights (Diffused Round Lens, DC 3V 20mA) - Lighting Bulb Lamp in 6 Colors x 10 pcs - Electronics Components Light Emitting Diodes Parts - Assorted Variety Color by Don Olsen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Unreliable at higher currents.

A good price, fast shipping, very bright (even at less than rated current. HOWEVER they were not reliable! A few dead out of the bag, others died after a few hours (@ 15 ma). Maybe just a bad lot but I recommend "burning them in" for a while before going to the trouble of putting them in a circuit.Follow up on review. The LEDs were rated for 20 ma. I was running 14 ma. with the failure. I tested them further and found that the brightness was fine for panel indicators at only 1 ma. Perhaps they will last longer at that current. They were even usable for panel indicators with a 0.3 ma forward current (2.3 - 2.7 volt drop @ 1 ma).

Pros
  • Received the LEDs in a timely fashion and they work very well.
Cons
  • It lacks instructions on using the different colors for different applications
