Product Description The 5mm Water Clear White LED is a high-performance light source designed for maximum brightness and clarity. Featuring a fully transparent "water-clear" lens, this LED focuses its light into a sharp, intense beam, making it ideal for applications requiring a point-source light rather than ambient glow. When off, the LED is colorless and stealthy; when powered on, it emits a crisp, daylight-white light. This is the top choice for DIY flashlights, headlight indicators for robots, and high-visibility status signals in bright environments.

Key Features

  • Ultra-Clear Transparency: Clear epoxy housing provides a sleek, modern aesthetic when inactive.

  • Exceptional Brightness: One of the brightest 5mm LEDs available, capable of illuminating small areas effectively.

  • Focused 25° Beam: Narrow viewing angle concentrates light into a bright spot, perfect for "spotlight" effects.

  • Daylight White Color: Produces a clean, cool white light (6000K+) with no yellow or blue tint.

  • Standard 5mm Profile: Through-hole leads fit perfectly into all standard breadboards, PCBs, and 5mm LED mounting clips.

Technical Details

  • Anode (+): Longer Lead

  • Cathode (-): Shorter Lead (Flat notch on the LED base)

  • Color Temperature: 6000K – 6500K

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

  • Soldering Temp: 260°C for less than 5 seconds

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • Voltage Management: White LEDs require a higher forward voltage (3.0V – 3.4V) than red or yellow versions. When powering from an Arduino (5V), we recommend a 150Ω to 220Ω resistor. Use 150Ω for maximum light output or 220Ω for better power efficiency.

  • 3.7V Battery Integration: These LEDs are a perfect match for 3.7V Lithium-Ion batteries. Since the battery can reach 4.2V when full, use a 47Ω resistor to protect the internal chip while maintaining a brilliant white glow.

  • Mini Flashlight Build: Because of the narrow 20° beam, you can wire 3 or 4 of these in parallel (each with its own resistor) to create a highly effective, low-power DIY emergency flashlight.

  • The "Spotlight" Advantage: If you need a soft, ambient indicator, choose our diffused white version. If you need a beam that can cut through the dark or signal across a room, this water-clear version is the one.
