Product Description The 8mm Pink Straw Hat LED is a specialty lighting component that combines a unique soft pink hue with an exceptionally wide viewing angle. The "Straw Hat" design features a low-profile, flat-top lens that disperses light across a 120-degree field, effectively eliminating the "spotlight" effect of traditional 8mm LEDs. This creates a smooth, even wash of pink light, making it ideal for creative hobbyist projects, custom PC case lighting, decorative dioramas, and specialized status indicators where a distinct, non-standard color is required.

Key Features

  • Unique Pink Illumination: Provides a vibrant, eye-catching rose-pink glow through a clear lens.

  • Wide-Angle Dispersion: Flat-top architecture ensures light is spread evenly for superior "flood" lighting.

  • Crystal Clear Lens: Water-clear epoxy ensures maximum light transmission and a sharp aesthetic.

  • Large 8mm Emitting Surface: Offers a broader glow and higher visibility compared to 3mm or 5mm alternatives.

  • Efficient Power Profile: Low forward voltage makes it compatible with most common battery-powered circuits.

Technical Details

  • Anode (+): Longer Lead

  • Cathode (-): Shorter Lead (Marked by a flat notch on the LED base)

  • Operating Temperature: -25°C to +85°C

  • Storage Temperature: -30°C to +100°C

  • Peak Wavelength: (Phosphor converted for pink hue)

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • Even Backlighting: Because of the wide 120° beam, these LEDs are perfect for backlighting translucent acrylic. You can place them closer to the surface than standard LEDs while still achieving a smooth, blended look.

  • Resistor Selection: Always use a current-limiting resistor to prevent damage. For a 5V supply, a 100Ω to 220Ω resistor is recommended to keep the current at a safe 20mA.

  • Creative Aesthetics: These are popular for adding a "cyberpunk" or "neon" aesthetic to robot chassis or custom PC builds without the bulk of traditional LED strips.

  • Consistent Arrays: Pair these with 8mm White Straw Hat LEDs to create high-visibility, wide-angle status panels for large-scale projects.

Package Includes

  • 5 x 8mm Pink Straw Hat LEDs
