#158188 - same, of course
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I know that the 3mm LEDs have 2 to 3 volts ... Is it same for chip LEDs too? or do they have less Voltages?

what is inside the package is the same.

anyhow, the source for such information is called a datasheet.

Why do you wonder about Voltage, they are "current controlled". Trying to do anything to a LED based on voltage is a surefire route to disaster.

P.S. Also, please provide me with any additional suggestions or information about Chip LEDs.

The only problem I know of with chip LEDs (and the reason we do not use them) is that the viewing angle is less than that of discretes.
