Hi everyone,
First time posting and could use some help choosing a solution for a project.
I'm new to the LED world so please excuse the newbie questions!
I'm looking for a very small (width) RGB led to make up a small panel.
I understand once into the SMD world, LEDs can be smaller.
Is 3mm the smallest RGB LED currently available?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Help with small RGB LED choice
From ehow:
T3/4 LEDs
Traditional LEDs feature standard component leads that can easily be installed by hand with a low-wattage soldering iron and electrical solder. Their sizes are denoted by a "T", followed by a number. These "T packages" begin with the T3/4, which measures only 2 millimeters in width. Many smaller remote controls utilize this type of LED to emit infrared signals. Home audio devices employ T3/4 LEDs as space-saving indicator lights.
