5mm Diffused Blue LED – Vibrant Blue Indicator for Electronics and DIY Projects

The 5mm Diffused Blue LED is a high-intensity light-emitting diode designed to emit a rich blue glow with wide-angle visibility and even light distribution. Featuring a diffused (milky) lens, it softens the light output for a more uniform appearance. Ideal for visual indicators, decorative lighting, and embedded systems, this LED is perfect for use in electronics hobby projects, educational kits, and professional circuits.
