Pros: The white LEDs are very bright. The LEDs are bubble-wrapped and secured properly. Build quality is very good, with all the legs still in its original straight position. The LEDs are very white too. All the LEDS are tested and found to be working properly.
Cons: No cons
Other Thoughts: Bought it to replace my PC's normal yellow HDD activity light and power indicator light. But I end up using it in my PC as internal lightings
Bottomline: For the very low price for such a lot and getting it from DX with shipping right to you, its worth.
great led's for the price

Pros: awesome litte guy's
way better then the old school led's
long leads are a plus!
Cons: none,i put them in an old black diamond vectra IQ and a princeton tec matrix 1 , and in a petzl tikka
they are better then what was in them by a long shot!
Other Thoughts: i bought them to replace some old school 5mm led's in a few of my old caving headlamps and they work great
so much better then what was in them,
also they have more of a spot and not a blue tint flood like the older 5mm led's
Bottomline: if you have any old school light that have 5mm white led's in them and aren't that bright put these in and you will be surprized of the diffrence it makes

Pros: - very cheap
- good for repairing flashlights or other things that use LED.
- you get 25!
- pretty bright.
Cons: - no guide how to use them.
- you don't really use (need) them normally.
- they burn out if you don't know how to use them.
- comes in a plastic bag. (but for the price you could expect they wouln't come in a box or something)
Other Thoughts: should come with a user guide sheet or something, or info should be on the site for people who don't know how to use them.
use them with 4.5 Volts or lower!!
Bottomline: great LED's for a really good price, if you need to fix something, buy these!!

Pros: - Very bright small LED:s
- They are very cheap
- All of them worked
Cons: - Came in a bag, some legs where bent, still nothing that you couldn't bend back
- No marking on the bag, I ordered more than one sort of leds at the same time and had to guess which was which
Bottomline: - Fill up your storage, at this price you can easily afford to order more than you have use of for the moment!
- So bright that it hurts to look at them when they are driven by a 9V supply voltage and a 330 ohm resistor!
