Quite sure. I also found one at RS this weekend that is rated at
1.3 V.


I'd like to know who makes it and what the chemistry is. Standard
white LEDs are blue and use a phosphor to convert it to white light. I
have data sheets on over 100 different types of white LEDs and none are
under 3 volts.


Clearly you don't believe me. So the back and forth isn't getting
either of us anywhere.

Look up LED's at Parts Express. You'll find all of them are 2.2
and under.



Parts Express is not a fountain of knowledge and they give the same
operating specs for all colors of LEDs which is typical of a surplus
store.


Go to RS and look in the drawers. But if you think you're going
to get anyone there to give you a manufacturer's name, you're going
to be disappointed.



www.radioshack.com lists one white LED, stock number 276-320 with
these specs:

Typical MCD is 1100. Size is T-1- 3/4 or 5mm. Clear lens color. 20mA
(max). Typical Voltage is 3.6V. Comes as package of 1.

Do you have a different stock number I can request the specs for?





Sure, I'll get on that. It's about a 50 drive from where I am.
For a stock number. Not a problem.


Like I said, you clearly don't believe me. And typical of
internet discussions, now you've chosen to disbelieve outside
information which has been made available. Not surprising. And now,
asking now for MORE information, also suitable for dismissal. As I
said, the back and forth becomes pointless.

My original post still stands. In the conflict between your data
and my experience, the radio breaks the tie with a clear voice.

The only thing I can suggest, is start hitting some hamfests, and
try it for yourself.
