I have a problem, I need an 8mm led but all you can get is 5mm or 10mm. I have ordered 10mm but there a bit too big which leads me too my question. How much of the lens can I shave down to achieve the 8mm diameter?
you'll be fine taking them downt to 8mm. Just don't goo to far on one side. I used to do this to take the domed top off for a more diffused light. Roughing them up with some wet & dry can produce some nice effects. Very time consuming though! Hase you tried looking on Farnell or RS Components?
Well I'll be, I never even knew they existed, I was in Maplins (a few results) and they had none listed in there catalogs and all my googling only showed 3,5&10mm! Thanks
