This LED Is super chonky! Bigger than your average LED, it has a big, bold, and beautiful diffused body that measures about 15mm square. Inside is nestled a red LED, just like you know, with about 2.1V forward voltage. Add a resistor in series and connect to a battery or microcontroller pin for a gorgeous glow.

Could be a great addition to a control panel, cosplay, or art project. They go easily into a breadboard and will add that extra cool ranch zing to your project.
