eventually burn out, too. So it would be wise to do the right thing and
replace them with LEDs, and they will last tens of thousands of hours.



I replaced a grain-of-wheat lightbulb for a clock-radio dial with one from
Radio Shack. The supply voltage is 5 volts so I bought a 12 volt bulb.

Imagine my surprise when these damned things are only rated for 15
hours!!!!

Are there any 5 volt LEDs around?


Any LED can be a 5 volt LED with an appropriate dropping resistor. ;-)

That being said, there *is* an LED rated for operation directly from a 5
volt line. Unfortunately, it's a flasher.

Cheers,
Fred
