RGB Flashing Water Clear LED – 5mm

RGB Flashing Water Clear LED – 5mm

Add dynamic colour-changing effects to your electronics projects with this 5mm RGB Flashing LED. Featuring a built-in control chip, this LED automatically cycles through red, green, and blue colours—no programming required—making it perfect for eye-catching displays and simple plug-and-play projects.

Housed in a water-clear 5mm package, it delivers bright, vibrant colours with a smooth transition between hues. Operating at a typical forward voltage of 3.0–3.3V and a current of around 20mA, it is compatible with Arduino, PICAXE, and basic circuit setups, while also being simple enough for beginner-level classroom use.

Its self-flashing functionality makes it ideal for introducing students to electronics without the need for coding, while still offering opportunities to explore power, polarity, and circuit design.
