RGB Multicolor *Fast Flashing* LED 3mm

These are pretty awesome. I got them for Christmas projects and ugly sweaters. They are very bright, 3mm diameter, clear lens (non-diffused), have a small flange and came in a nice anti-static bag.Tested few of them with 5V supply and current limiting resistors ranging from 120ohm to 330ohm. LEDs worked as expected. *Always use a current limiting resistor to avoid headaches*.The flashing/blinking sequence is pre-programmed and can't be changed. The IC does not have a precision clock so when…

Pros
  • Assortment includes 10 different colors
Cons
  • The LEDs may not be as bright as other types of lighting

worked great for my use

I used these to replace incandescent "grain of wheat" pilot lights in a piece of equipment that I have. They incandescent lamps only had a lifetime of about 6 months. These should last the life of the equipment. With a 12v supply, I used a 1k resistor in series with the LED and it was the perfect brightness for my use. I have another 93 LEDS left for other projects :-)

Pros
  • Works
Cons
  • The assorted colors may not be bright enough for some uses

Good price and quick shipping

Received my order quickly. No surprises, received what I expected- what was described. Have had no issues everything functions as it should. Will use this vendor again without hesitation.

Pros
  • If you drop these and they get mixed up you're screwed. They need to be color coded.
Cons
  • The package may contain defective or damaged LEDs

The yellow-green isn't yellow-green. It's just yellow.

If my pee were the same color as the LED they call yellow-green I wouldn't worry. That LED is really just yellow. However, if your pee really is yellow-green you might wat to get that checked. I'm not a doctor but, in my experience that isn't normal.

Pros
  • Got the diodes and they are indeed a WHITE BRIGHT LED. Just as stated.Bob
Cons
  • The LEDs may emit a harsh, artificial-looking light

Great LEDs at a great price!

Purchased these for a number of different projects that I needed some UV/Black Light for. I haven't made it through the bag yet, but haven't hit a "dud" yet. They all work as expected, and actually put out quite a bit of light from a single CR2032 without any other kind of circuitry or work. For what they cost, 100 UV LEDs is a no brainer, even if you don't need 100 of them right now, put them in your kit! They also sell other colors as well.

Pros
  • Provides bright and clear light
Cons
  • The LEDs may not be compatible with all types of dimmer switches

Incredibly bright, gorgeous colors

Used these to replace some white LED lights on a pre-lit Christmas tree. The cost of these made the effort to replace totally worth it, as they are incredibly vibrant. Love the color changing, too - they start all on the same color and gradually get out of sync perfectly to keep the tree colorful. Highly recommend.

Pros
  • Each color comes with 10 pieces
Cons
  • The assorted colors may not match the user's expectations

I like this selection of leds

I like this selection of leds, it is quite a wide variety of colors. I've bought several times from Chanzon because of their selection and quality.

Pros
  • Compatible with: Indicator Lights, DIY PCB Circuit, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, hobby, Science Experiments, Colorful Throwies Project, Breadboard, T1 T-1 Bulb, Bulk 3.2v 3.3v Parts Replacement,Invisible Black Light
Cons
  • The LEDs may not be as energy-efficient as other types of lighting

Great product and variety

I used these for a science inquiry in my classroom. The students had to design a flashlight. Their surprise was a lot of fun when they realized they had different colors.

Pros
  • Provides a soft and warm glow
Cons
  • The package may not contain enough of a particular color for larger projects

Great for decorative projects

I used these color changing LEDs for a small 3D printed birthday cake that lights up. I also replaced tealight LEDs with these color changing LEDs.

Pros
  • As described / fast shipper / will buy from again / AAA+++
Cons
  • The LEDs may be difficult to distinguish between the different colors offered

Grandchild's science project

Nicely packaged and labelled.Was for a science experiment with the grandchildren.they loved itand LED's very bright so made a big hit in their tent.

Pros
  • I was searching for 5mm LEDs.Other then being smaller then I wanted, they seem to work fine.
Cons
  • The LEDs may be prone to overheating if not properly managed

Bright, tough on my review.

These are tough and last a long time. They are also very bright. Perfect size for what I need and I like having an assortment. Have used them on a few diy projects and replacing the headlights in a R/C car.

Pros
  • Can be used for automotive lighting
Cons
  • The assorted colors may not be consistent across different packages

You can never have enough LEDs

Lights! Lots of them! What's not to like? Each color was sorted into a separate baggy with a label, which is good because they all have clear lenses so you otherwise can't tell the color without powering them up. Also, they list the voltage ranges for each, which is nice for calculating what resistors to use. All of the ones I've tested have been consistent and bright.

Pros
  • I use them to retrofit analog Carrera slot cars for lights and a digital chip/decoder, work great.
Cons
  • The kit may not contain enough variety for some users

Great product! So bright.

I have wired up 35 of them and pumped over 20 mA of current through each and they have worked consistently well since the start. I did not expect this level of intensity from this small of an LED – don't look directly at them!

Pros
  • Great Value for product. Exactly what I was looking for
Cons
  • The LEDs may be prone to burning out if not properly managed

They worked great: my feedback

These worked perfectly for my application of them The whole reason I need to get them in the first place is the original ones that came with a different kit I was using were all dead and these ones replaced them and fit perfectly with one minor detail I had change however that can't be held against this person's product just the other companies kit but all in all I would definitely order these again every one of them I checked works like it should and they arrived earlier than expected so I'm…

Pros
  • Low power consumption saves energy
Cons
  • The package may contain too many of one particular color for the user's needs

Really good for my opinion

These are a clear plastic so they are nice and bright.Good flashing speed and good looking colors.Will buy again when needed.

Pros
  • Very bright and perfect size for my arduino projects.
Cons
  • The LEDs may not be suitable for use in outdoor applications

Not super bright but good for price

Bought the multi pack. Yellow and green-yellow look more orange than yellow. Uv purple is very dim but it was expected from their luminosity scale, only minor uv effect. All other colors match what you would expect and are vibrant.

Pros
  • Can be used for model making and other hobbies
Cons
  • The assorted colors may not be evenly distributed across the package

Bright lights good for me

Used to make brush bot for my son’s school project. The lights on these were very bright and worked perfectly Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • High-quality construction ensures reliability
Cons
  • The LEDs may exhibit a gradual decrease in brightness over time

No problems so far, working as expected.

OF the large batch, I've only used 13 for a testing board (board to verify all MCU pins are soldered). All worked with no issues.

Pros
  • Color/Wave Length: White: 6000K-9000K(7000K 8000K) Red: 620nm-625nm Green: 515nm-520nm Yellow-Green: 570nm-575nm Blue: 455-465nm Yellow: 588-592nm(590nm 591nm) Orange(Amber): 600nm-610nm UV(Violet/Purple): 395nm-400nm Warm White:3000K
Cons
  • The LEDs may require a particular type of resistor to function properly

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Some were 3v, some were 2volt

The packages for seven colors indicated they were for 3 to 3.2 volts, as described. However, three colors were for 2 to 2.2 volts.

Pros
  • Ideal for use in emergency lighting situations
Cons
  • The package may not contain enough information on the LED's lifespan or durability

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Some work some don't

Great Leds when they work. Out of the 10 of each color, 4 of the 10 seemed weaker or a lower quality glow. I had to test each one to find the ones that did work properly or had the right amount of glow. Great price but be aware 40% of them will be of a substandard quality.

Pros
  • good product for craft and models, good size and good color.
Cons
  • The LEDs may be too small or difficult to handle for some users
