Hello all,
I am trying to find a surface mount bi colour (red / yellow) low current
(<2mA)
Led. I can find low current or bi colour but not both. Does anyone know if
such a thing exists and if so who manufactures it?
Thanks, Dave

Dunno, but just about every LED mfgr's, seller's, etc. website can be
linked to from Craig's website, www.ledmuseum.org, which used to be
ledmuseum.home.att.net. Maybe even still is. :)

I'm missing something. Why do you need a LED that's only
speced for low current? Why not use a normal current LED?

LEDs are reasonably linear in light vs current so you can
estimate (pretty well) the light out for a given current.

Low current leds have the same intensity at 2mA as "normal" leds have at
10mA plus. This is for a battery operated circuit.

I have used superbrights and ran them at 2-5ma
for low current apps. they work fine.
