    Hi guys

    I would like to change my LED to Green or Blue on my DD3

    Does anyone know the exact size and voltage required. I am away from my babies for a few days so can't check atm.

    Just wanted to order some now so they are waiting for my when I get back.

    The part number is actually in the service manual, SR506D, which is a 3mm, 2.6v 4mA LED

    I cannot find a blue one in this spec, I am not sure why, I am no LED expert

    So will have be green.

    By nature blue LEDs will be a higher voltage. White LEDs are based on Blue with a phosphor on top.
    Most LED torches run on 4.5v. I do have one here that runs on 3V but it is very dim.

    Green would be less of a problem but is still a bit higher in voltage.
