3mm Blue Flashing LED Components. 0.5 Hz. White Lens. Round. 10 pcs.
Dioramo Scale Modeling
10 Pieces of Blue 3mm DIP LED Light Components with a built-in Blinking / Flashing Effect.
A Flashing Blue LED, commonly used to mimic Law Enforcement, Police, EMT, etc. in Hobbies.
- Blue Light Color Flashing DIP LED Component.
- 3mm Round, Diffused White Lens.
- Reputable LED that is Robust, Cost-effective, and Easy to Solder.
Mixing Different Blue Light Color Components also result in out-of-sync Blinking rates, which allows for Customizing unique Scaled Flashing FX in Hobby Models, Dioramas, RC Cars, Diecast, Police Vehicles, Toys, etc.
Notes:
- These LEDs require 3 Volts at a limited current of 20mA to operate.
It is important to limit the current flowing into an LED, which is typically done by connecting a resistor in series with it. This particular 3V LED product does not come with resistors included and is designed for custom installations where the LED will be powered by a source that limits the current.
The Resistor Chart Image lists recommended resistors for this LED at various voltages to match your project's requirements. - Flashing / Blinking LEDs can not be dimmed. Starving the internal chip of sufficient power may have adverse effects.
- These LEDs Flash / Blink at a rate of 0.5 Hertz, which is 30 cycles per minute.
