## Description

So much power and light from such a small package. This 5 pack of red 3 Watt aluminum backed PCBs is sure to shed a lot of light on any project you add it to. These LEDs act as any other LED except these little guys require much more power while delivering a light as intense of a thousand suns going super nova (this is an exaggeration but you know what we mean)!

Each LED in the pack sits upon an aluminum backed PCB to help with heat dissipation and emits a vibrant red light. Additionally, each LED requires a forward voltage of 2.0-2.8V at 750mA.

Note: We like to joke around about super novas and all, but seriously, don’t look directly into the LED.

Features:

- Forward Voltage: 2.0-2.8V
- Forward Current: 750mA
- Viewing angle: 125±5 Degrees
- Luminous Intensity: 75-105LM
- Wavelength: 620-630nm
