The Abyss - what"yellow" LED for optical ?

[lcipher3]

While I'm waiting for the PCB to come into stock was going to buy some parts....

Any hints on what to use for the "YELLOW" LED (for the 4 LDR (KE-10720) ?? There's about a million of em
They go from 2 mcd to 25000 mcd
Clear? Tinted?

Diffused (tinted) work well. I used whichever one Tayda sells in quite a few LDR builds and never had a problem.

Except for the Delegate I've use the diffused yellow + LDR from Tayda for all of my LDR builds.

thanks! looks like Tayda actually has everything I need

What led did you use for the delegate please? I have one to build.

Is it the SMD? I don't see diffused yellow other than that.
Edit; Never mind don't include "diffused" in the search https://www.taydaelectronics.com/led-5mm-yellow.html

The idea of shooting a water-clear LED straight up and not at the LDR kind of mystified me but I guess that's how EQD does it.

I’m curious as to why you chose the clear white in the Delegate and tinted yellow in everything else.

I've given up on trying to make sense of the stuff EQD does.

I don't make the news, I just report it.

You know the motto right? We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.

I found a good equivalent for the Tayda yellow LEDs at Mouser when I was doing my Voodoo Vibe clone. It was clear yellow tint rather than the foggy diffused style, and in the neighborhood of 2000-2500mcd. I think it was 2300mcd specifically. These just happen to be close in specs to the Tayda ones, which to my eye are more so the clear tint.

? Okay, I thought maybe there was a specific circuit-related reason I was missing.
