For display 0805s give a nice colour effect
Thank you for the info.
If I use plcc2 for the 14 side LEDs will I get normal lightning of the clocks or there will be brighter and darker areas?
Whats the difference between plcc4 and plcc2, what's the point of having 4 mounting pads? You mean that if I use plcc2, I must solder the LED to the top couple of pads or what? There's no one here around me for help, that's why I'm asking these stupid questions.
Thanks, Martin
I've found that using any colour other than original will be much brighter.
You can either solder them on the same way, or solder them flat.
Plcc2 has a positive and a negative pad.
Plcc4 has 3 positive pads and a negative pad.
If you use a plcc2, then u only solder it to 2 of the 4 pads.
Find the negative pad and solder that and the positive pads opposite.
Do not solder to the 2 other pads.
OK I see, thank you.
So i must leave some space between the smd and 2 of the pads that are not needed....
I ordered white SMDs to replace the originals, and blue ones for the two displays and the needles. Don't know if they will look better leaving them with the red SMDs or put blue ones, as the needles are covered in red....

There's a space, it big enough not to solder on to them.
If your doing the needles blue, remember and remove the red/orange coating underneath the needles and try and clean them up.
If you left them, the blue wouldn't show.
Are you talking about the white coating?

Yes.....but it's reddish orange on the other side....make smooth and clear and the blue will show better
