Looking for LED's?
We've found that bright LED are hard to find. Often, you can't trust the rating
(in mcd's) given for an LED. Why? Nobody knows.
Color | Part # | Supplier | Comments |
Blue | P467-ND | Digikey | 45 degree cone, but will blind you. |
Green | ??? | We're still looking for a really bright green LED. | |
Red | 505-1348 | Allied | Wide cone, pretty bright. |
IR | 160-1061 | Digikey | From Rob's iRX board design. Wide cone, others just don't seem to work as well. |
IR | HSDL-3610 | Agilent/HP | IR Transceiver. We'll tell you how it works. |
