Help Identify LED (empirical data)

[Stephen Kurzban]

I've been given some of these and need to find a source for some
more. They are 5mm red LED's with the below characteristics. Please
let me know what you think they are comparable or identical to, where
I may be able to go (or obtain catalog from) to review data sheets, or
both?

Vf *If Z Character
===================
1.76 .2 7920 dim
2 8.9 225 Brite
2.14 18 118 "
2.27 27 83 "
2.4 37 65 max
2.66 55 48 "
2.81 64 44 "
2.95 74 40 "
3.41 101 34 orange tint

* mA (It is hot to the touch at 100 mA)

I know "dim, brite, max" and the like are subjective ;-)

Thanks in advance!

I'd say that runniing them at anything over 50 mA is suicidal for the
LED. Hot? No fooling.

check www.ledmuseum.org for more info.

Thanks in advance!
