LED Light Bar - Red (SMD)
Want to make a 12 ft GPS wall clock? This is the perfect item to light it up! Even if that's not the project you are looking to build, these light bars pack quite a bit of light into three small red LED's and they are very easy to set up with no soldering required.
The red LED Light Bar is a pre-packaged strip of 3 high-output LEDs powered by 12VDC. Each unit comes with a fully assembled and tested PCB with current limiting resistors, a wall-mount holder and peel-away sticky foam backing, and polarized connection cables. Each LED Light Bar absorbs approximately 54mA @ 12V.

LED Light Bar Hookup
September 24, 2013
A quick overview of SparkFun's LED light bars, and some examples to show how to hook them up.
Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

I'm using these along with the white ones to trick out my transceiver for field day.
1) The hookup guide link is broken. 2) How exactly does one make a 12ft GPS wall clock with this? What's a GPS wall clock anyway?
Hookup Guide should be good now. Kamiquasi is correct, that is the 12ft GPS Wall Clock tutorial, you can also find a link to that in the "Going Further" tab in the Hookup guide as well :)

Somebody should tell this poor guy about the hot-wire method of cutting styrofoam. Though at this point it might just make him cry.
