Re: Sparkfun LEDs

Yeah but how do you heat shrink it? I have a few assorted sizes but I know what's going to happen.. I can do the light pipe but it's not going to shrink enough for the LED so it's going to move around or fall out.

I don't understand your problem. You have a 5mm LED and a 6mm light pipe. Take a piece of 1/4" heatshrink (inside diameter is large enough for the light pipe) and put it over both LED and the end of the light pipe.

Shrink by 20% and it is snug around the LED (most heatshrink will easily do 50%).
