little LEDs

Was at Active Surplus today to get various electronic bits for a few projects that I am working on. I remembered to collect some info about surface mount small form factor LEDs I had seen during a recent visit. [Actually, these are not "surface mount;" they are simply small "dome style" LED packages.] I decide to buy some. They were available in yellow and red. 5 for $1. Wow. I snagged 50.



They are a good colour, a ruby red, have a wide dispersion pattern, again are very small. They might be perfect for a light table project I've been kicking around...
