I'm looking for a SMD LED that I can use as a power/activity LED.
This needs to be PCB mounted but visible through a hole in the
case. Are there any stock solutions that peeps use here?3

led light pipe, it has a enough wiggle to fit in a hole in a panel and on the pcb is just a regular smd led
if a bit of hand soldering isn't out of the question "edge launch" mounting a
regular LED through hole LED will work
This pipe picks up the light from some surface-mount 1206-type LEDs:

John Larkin posted a good one here about a week ago. But I
think his was meant to act as a backlight to a panel something
or other. There are plenty of through-hole right-angle LEDs.

I've used something like this for 0603 LEDs:

These look useful, too:

This Osram family is really nice.

Beautiful colors, especially the blue and orange. We usually shoot the
light onto the back of a label that has a frosty window, but it's OK
firing into a bare hole in an aluminum panel.

Two on upper right.
They certainly look very interesting but don't
look suitable for placement on a panelled PCB.

But why does a light pipe, a few milligrams of plastic, cost 5 or 10
time the cost of an LED?

Because a pick and place machine would generally place from above, and
these look as if they need to be placed from the side.

No, ordinary pick-and-place.

Just set them back from the edge of the board, 50 mils or so, so they
don't hit the panel. Not too far or the light will spread out.
