Description / 3mm Round Top Warm / Soft White LED - Ultra Bright
The 3mm Warm White LED (Round Top, Clear) is the standard through-hole LED for model railroad building interiors, Christmas light replacements, vintage audio relamp, warm accent lighting. Clear lens with a focused 20-30 Degrees beam — bright and directional, the classic DIP LED that fits every breadboard, panel bezel, and holder on the market.
The 3mm (T-1) head is the compact choice — fits smaller enclosures, 1590A/1590B pedal boxes, and scales realistically for HO and N gauge model railroad signals and indicator positions.

Common applications
- Model railroad building interiors: Warm white (~3000K) simulates incandescent room lighting at scale. The focused beam works for directed window glow and structure spots.
- Christmas light replacement: Replace burnt-out C7/C9 incandescent string light bulbs with warm white LEDs for a traditional warm holiday look.
- Vintage audio equipment relamp: Replace burnt-out dial lamps in Marantz, Pioneer, and Sansui receivers with warm LEDs that approximate the original incandescent color.
- Warm accent lighting: Inside glass jars, lanterns, and decorative fixtures for a cozy ambient glow.
- Scale model interior lighting: Dioramas, architectural models, dollhouse rooms — warm white reads as "home."
Standard T-1 through-hole footprint. Fits all 3mm LED holders, bezels, and panel-mount clips. Add a current-limiting resistor matched to your supply voltage — see our LED Resistor Calculator for the exact value.
Need a wider beam? See our 3mm Diffused Round Top LEDs (soft glow, no hotspot) or Diffused LEDs for soft glow applications.
