Quick Start
The longer leg is the anode (+). The shorter leg, or the side with a flat on the body, is the cathode (−).
Always use a current-limiting resistor. See the Resistor Guide tab for values by supply voltage and colour.
Connect: Supply (+) → Resistor → LED anode → LED cathode → GND.
Choose your colour and pack size from the variant selector before adding to cart.

Common Uses
Common Questions
The longer leg is the anode (+) and the shorter leg is the cathode (−). If the legs have been trimmed, look for the flat edge on the LED body — the flat side indicates the cathode.
Yes — always use a current-limiting resistor. Connecting an LED directly to a power supply will exceed the 20mA forward current and burn it out almost instantly. See the Resistor Guide tab for recommended values.
A single or 10-pack is ideal for a quick project or to try the product. A 25 or 50-pack suits ongoing builds, classroom use, or stocking up — the per-LED price drops as you go up in quantity.
