Game PCB replacement LEDs

[big10p]

I had a bit of a struggle to remove a couple of voltage indicator LEDs from this board, as the leads were completely rusted and just broke off in the holes. Anyway, now they're out, I need a couple of replacements. Feel a bit dumb asking this, but do I need to get a 5v and a 12v LED, or are they all the same and just need to be paired with the correct resistor, depending on colour? The old ones were red.



I have a bag of LEDs in assorted colours, which at some point in the distant past I labelled as 3v. Can these be used?

Thanks.

Different colour leds have a different voltage. The resistor should sort it out. You should be fine with red or green, maybe yellow, but blue and white would probably need different resistor values.

Ok, I'll just stick with red. Thanks.
