Sometimes when you have too many choices, it's hard to make a good decision. In fact, there are times when you just want a bag of LEDs, just one of each, that's all you want. Well too bad, you are getting two of each! The LED Rainbow Pack contains two diffused 5mm PTH LEDs of each color of the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. This is a great way to sample each one and decide what you really need or just to add a whole bunch of color to your next project.
This item is a free giveaway edition of the LED Rainbow Pack. Giveaway available from 11/16/2015 to 11/20/2015. Sorry guests, distributors, educators, and international customers this promotion is for domestic customer accounts only. This giveaway will not apply to gift card orders. One LED bag per order with no exceptions. While supplies last.
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.

Quick edit: "diffused 5mm PTH LEDs" should read "diffused 5mm THT LEDs".
Reasoning:
PTH = Plated Through Hole. A description of a hole on a circuit board that has solderable plating affixed to the walls of the hole.
THT = Through Hole Technology (coined as a response to SMT = Surface Mount Technology). A description of components and PCB topologies where a component with electrically connected pins pass through a hole on a circuit board with the expectation that solder will be used to mechanically and electrically connect the component to circuit traces on the board. (Note, many single-sided boards, some cheaply made boards, and most double-sided home-made boards will not have plated holes.)
Part Through Hole?
Whooaaaa! Double-rainbow! :-)
Nice! Pity I'm so far away ;-)
