Description
Product Overview
The 1.8mm/2mm round top cool clear white LED from Lighthouse LEDs is engineered for high‑intensity illumination while maintaining a compact footprint. With a luminous intensity ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 millicandelas, this LED provides a striking brightness that is ideal for detailed hobby projects and miniature displays. The clear lens design ensures a uniform light output, and the through‑hole (DIP) mounting style simplifies integration into printed circuit boards and prototype boards.
Technical specifications include a forward voltage of 3.0 to 3.4 volts and a standard operating current of 20 mA, delivering a reliable performance envelope that balances power consumption with luminous output. The viewing angle of 20‑30 degrees focuses the light where it is needed, reducing spill and enhancing visual contrast in applications such as model aircraft, remote‑controlled cars, and decorative lighting. Each package contains 20 LEDs, providing ample quantity for batch projects or replacement needs.
Manufactured by Lighthouse LEDs, a reputable brand known for consistent quality control, these LEDs have earned a 4.5‑star rating from customers, reflecting their durability and brightness. The product’s best‑seller rank in the Super Luminescent LEDs sub‑category underscores its popularity among makers, engineers, and hobbyists seeking dependable illumination solutions.

Usage
These LEDs excel in a variety of environments where space is limited but brightness is essential. In RC vehicle modifications, the small size allows placement in tight chassis areas, providing clear signal lights or decorative accents without adding significant weight. Arduino and other microcontroller platforms benefit from the low forward voltage, enabling direct connection to common development boards without the need for complex driver circuits.
For HO scale model enthusiasts, the clear white output mimics realistic lighting, enhancing the visual appeal of miniature train sets, dioramas, and architectural models. Seasonal projects such as Halloween props or Christmas ornaments also take advantage of the LED’s high lumen output to create eye‑catching effects while maintaining low power draw, making them suitable for battery‑powered installations.
Beyond hobbyist applications, the LEDs are suitable for educational kits, prototype development, and low‑cost lighting fixtures where uniform illumination is required. Their robust construction ensures they can withstand the vibrations and shocks typical in model vehicles and portable devices.
