Diffused 'Piranha' Super-flux RGB (tri-colour) LED (10 pack)

These 5mm RGB LEDs combine red, green, and blue LEDs in a single diffused package, making them perfect for colourful indicators, lighting effects, and projects that need adjustable colour output.

Here are the diffused 5mm tri-colour LEDs with separate red, green and blue LED chips inside! Ultra bright indicator or illuminator, and fun to colour-swirl. 90 degree viewing angle. You can plug these into a breadboard diagonally. These are Common-Anode type which means you connect one pin to 5V or so and then tie the other three legs to ground through a resistor. We carry and use CA more than CC because multi-LED driver chips (such as the TLC5940/TLC5941) are often designed exclusively for CA and can't be used with Common-Cathode.
