Anyone know if it’s possible to get dual colour SMD LEDs in something other than red and green?

Sure.

With more budget friendly shipping costs? :blush:

That’s harder. What exact footprint do you need?

Not sure, I don’t have any super accurate measuring devices. Whatever the SP36 and C8F use :blush: Kinda look like 0805 to me though. I could probably make smaller footprints work with a bit more solder.

For example here:

Note that these 0805 bicolor LEDs seem to have the same footprint as RGB ones. And RGB ones are easier to get. Though there’s risk that the 2 connected pads would be red and green. :wink:

But do check the size before ordering. :slight_smile:

Ah interesting, thanks Agro. Your AliExpress-foo is much better than mine. Let me see if I can find the correct size first.
