Opto-Electronics
Hillcor Holdings offers a range of opto products from specialist manufacturer, Daina. 
The super-bright 5 mm LEDs (light emitting diodes) have a typical brightness (mcd) of: 3000-4000 mcd at 20 mA (yellow); 2000-3000 mcd at 20 mA (red); 3000-4000 mcd at 20 mA (orange). Wavelengths are production-controlled to ensure and maintain uniformity of colour.
The 3 and 5 mm dia low-current LEDs cover the three popular colours of 'hi-eff' red-, green- and yellow-diffused. Typical mcd at 2 mA are: 1 - 4 mcd (red); 8~3 mcd (green); 8-3 mcd (yellow).
A full standard range of LEDs, displays, SMD parts and accessories from Daina, including 'super-white' LEDs are available through Hillcor Holdings.
