TORRANCE, CA — May 5, 2000 — LEDtronics announces its newest line of advanced
technology Discrete LEDs 5mm (T1-3/4) Discrete
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that expand
the creative options available to engineers and designers. These water-clear,
high-intensity T1-3/4 LEDs incorporate advanced optical grade epoxy to produce
illumination that is bright and smooth even in direct sunlight. 5mm LEDs
come with sturdy leads for outstanding reliability in wire wrap applications.
Select from six sunlight-visible colors: Super Lime Green, Cool White, Super
Blue, Super Pure Yellow, Super Red and Super Orange.

Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical
shock, vibration, frequent switching and environmental extremes. With an
average life span of 100,000-plus hours (11 years), 5mm LEDs operate reliably
year after year and are appropriate for many applications. They can be used
as individual pixels in a large dot matrix screen, full color screens, moving
signs and displays. More diverse applications for 5mm LEDs include light
sources for scanners used in color copiers, spectral analysis, high-speed
document reading and color synthesis. Other applications include medical
imaging and biomedical instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, machine
vision systems, and color recognition and calibration systems – any
application that requires a bright, reliable LED.
Founded in 1983, LEDtronics® leads where others only follow when it
comes to designing, manufacturing and packaging state-of-the-art LEDs
to meet the world’s constantly changing lighting needs. Our inventive
product line encompasses an array of direct incandescent lamp replacement
Based LEDs, low-cost snap-in and relampable Panel Mount LEDs, high intensity
sunlight-visible Discrete LEDs, PCB LEDs circuit board status indicators,
surface mount diodes SMT LEDs, full-spectrum rainbow RGB LEDs and Infra-Red
(IR) LEDs.
Prices for 5mm Discrete LEDs range from $0.14 - $3.30 each in quantities
of 1,000 depending on the technology of the LED color. Availability is stock
to 4 – 6 weeks for special requirements. For qualified customers,
samples are available to meet your design requirements.
