Description
These super small LEDs are known as surface mount LEDs, SMD LEDs, or Chip LEDs.
They are very small and compact yet still very, very bright! The benefit of a flat and compact LED Chip,
already wired for you, is that it still gives a great amount of light, but can be mounted flush, with no bulb shape showing.
We have taken these SMD Chip LEDs and taking care with tolerances, added 8 inches of red and green superfine magnet wire.
Get these chips already wired, tested, guaranteed, and fully ready to connect to your power supply. No resistors need to be added, we have done that part!
Need a really, really small LED? Try our new Z-LED
At 0.65mm wide by 0.36mm height by 0.4mm height these LEDs are our smallest. When it is not lit it is hard to see, so if your project needs a LED that will not be visible until turned-on this is a great choice.

"How many can I run at once?"
- Using a 3 volt coin cell holder you can run 1-10 chips.
- Using a 3 volt AAA holder you can run 1-30 chips
- Using a 9 volt battery snap/switch you can run 1-50 of the chips.
- Using a 12 volt 1 Amp supply is also 50 chips, no need to turn off.
- Using your own power? The chips draw 20 milliamps each. So check your power supply to see how many milliamps it lists. A 1000 milliamp supply can run 50 chips.
"Can the chip LEDs be run along with other LEDs from the same battery or coin cell?"
Yes the chips can be run right alongside all of the other sizes of LEDs on the same power supply.
"On the AC chips, what size is the rectifier/resistor unit?"
This diagram shows the size of the rectifier unit
"I need the AC type chips but I have to run them through a tight passage?"

Normally, I just let ambient light fall on my star trek control panels. it's pretty good. But for Voyager sickbay, the wall sconces needed backlighting, so I had some giant LED strips installed behind the wall to pump light into those sconces and back lit wall panels. But then the panels mounted directly to the bio beds would look out of place dim. What would I do for the tiny monitor mounted to the bio-beds? How would I even get a wire into a light that no one would see, with those displays held up by what is when physically built a 1mm thick support?
These magnet-wire LED's did the trick. I've got one cast into the resin display, with the tiny magnet wire going behind the little 1 mm support on one side. Then 3 on each side under the beds to add accent light on the floor, and highlights the edges of those "raw-umber" supports under the bed. And one in the display panel at the feet. Compare the first photo with the lights on to the second one where they're off, and see which one more closely matches the 3rd which is a screen grab from the show.
I had dreaded doing manual LED's because normally I'd have to do all kinds of resistor calculations, which... sure I can do and I've done it before, but I've never been good at predicting the brightness of LEDs, and so I never really know how many I need at what brightness, which makes resistor calculations .... impossible. But with these 3V LEDs, being able to play around and just add any number of them (up to 50) in parallel to the circuit with the standard 3V power adapter with no extra resistors really made the difference in whether I was going to accomplish this or not.
Thanks for making this effortless, and I'm definitely buying more of these! Though may warm white instead of cool white next time. (Would love bright white, hint hint)

Perfect! Exactly what I wanted.

These are fabulous for fitting in spots where nothing else can go. I only wish my fat, arthritic fingers could fit there too!
K
Love these little things.
They're perfect for my model car projects.
I can't wait to see what else I can use them for.
E
Exactly as described 👌

The long wire leads, and the small size of these LEDs allows the installation in semaphore signals suspended by the catenary bridges used on the New Haven RR. While I only purchased one to try out, I'm really happy with this and will have to count the number of semaphores I will need to light and order more. Great modeling item. Thanks.

Built this 1/25 scale fire truck model using 38 LED lamps in various combinations of flasher and rotating circuits and brough it to life with a fire truck siren module from Evan Designs. Great fun, great products and easy to use. I have opportunity to call for some advice a couple times and these people are responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Customer service like this is dead at most places!! Thanks Evan Designs I will be continue to be a repeat customer!

Writing this review reminds me that I forgot to order more that I did for upcoming HO scale projects. They’re great for lighting interiors of buildings. Just these buildings come with such thin walls, sometimes you may have to calculate in a resistor cause Evandesigns LED’s are the best out there. I think you can tone down the brightness with some clear paint.
