Description / 5mm Round Top Cool / Clear White LED - Ultra Bright
The 5mm 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 5mm (T-1¾) is the most popular LED size in the world — the standard for breadboard prototyping, hobby projects, panel indicators, and every electronics starter kit. Fits all 5mm holders and bezels.

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 3/4 through-hole footprint. Fits all 5mm 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 5mm Diffused Round Top LEDs (soft glow, no hotspot) or 5mm Straw Hat LEDs (120–140° wide angle).
