- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4040:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged.

## Description

This LED Is super *chonky!* Bigger than your average LED, it has a big, bold, and beautiful diffused body that measures about 15mm square. Inside is nestled a blue LED, just like you know, with about 3.4V forward voltage. Add a resistor in series and connect to a battery or microcontroller pin for a gorgeous glow.

Could be a great addition to a control panel, cosplay, or art project. They go easily into a breadboard and will add that extra cool ranch zing to your project.

If you need some help using LEDs, please read Adafruit's "Introduction to using LEDs" tutorial for any electronics project.
