Ultra-Bright RGB LED 5mm (T1-3/4) – Common Cathode – 3 Pack
Vivid Multi-Color Lighting for Every Project
Bring your electronics, DIY projects, and crafts to life with these ultra-bright 5mm RGB LEDs. Featuring a common cathode configuration, these LEDs let you create any color of the rainbow by simply mixing red, green, and blue. Perfect for hobbyists, makers, and anyone looking for bright, versatile, and easy-to-use lighting solutions.
Features of the Ultra-Bright 5mm RGB LED
- Common Cathode: The longest pin is the cathode, making wiring and breadboarding simple—even for beginners.
- 4-Pin Versatility: Control each color channel (red, green, blue) independently for unlimited color combinations and effects.
- Ultra Brightness: These LEDs use the same type of technology found in the displays at sports stadiums, delivering brilliant color and visibility.
- Wide Applications: Ideal for custom displays, sign-making, Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects, wearables, and model making.
- Convenient 3-Pack: Each order includes three high-intensity, 5mm common cathode RGB LEDs for maximum value.
Technical Specifications
| Color | Wavelength (nm) | Forward Voltage (V) | Forward Current (mA) | Peak Luminous Intensity (mcd) | Viewing Angle (°) | Luminous Flux (lm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red | 620 | 2.0 | 20 | 1200 | 30 | 0.3 |
| Green | 520 | 3.0 | 20 | 2000 | 28 | 0.4 |
| Blue | 460 | 3.0 | 20 | 2000 | 28 | 0.4 |
- Package includes: 3 x Ultra-Bright RGB LEDs (T1-3/4 5mm) – Common Cathode
Easy to Use for Everyone
Getting started is straightforward—just connect each anode (red, green, blue) to your favorite microcontroller or power supply, and use the common cathode as ground. Mix and match the current to each channel for hundreds of possible colors. The 5mm size fits easily into breadboards, project panels, and custom enclosures.
For best results and to protect your LEDs, we recommend using Vetco’s 1/4 watt resistor collection for current limiting on each color channel. Choose from a wide range of values to match your project needs and keep your LEDs shining bright and long.
