Description / 3mm Round Top Cool Clear White LED - Ultra Bright
The 3mm Cool White LED (Round Top, Clear) is the standard through-hole LED for general-purpose illumination, Christmas lights, flashlight builds, Arduino indicators, model railroad station 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
- Christmas light replacement: Cool white LEDs as replacements for burnt-out C7/C9 string bulbs — brighter, cooler running, and longer lasting than incandescent.
- General illumination: Flashlight builds, task lighting, work area indicators. Cool white provides maximum perceived brightness.
- Model railroad platform and commercial structures: Cool white simulates modern fluorescent/LED lighting in stations, warehouses, and commercial buildings.
- Arduino and electronics: The standard white LED for breadboard prototyping, demo circuits, and indicator builds.
- Photography and video: DIY ring lights, macro illumination panels, camera tally indicators.
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.
