40. High-Brightness Indicator LED

Rohit is designing an industrial control panel and wants a status LED that stays clearly visible even in bright indoor light.

The LED will run from a 12V supply using a series resistor.

He wants a red, 1206 SMD LED with good brightness (≥80mcd) and wide viewing angle (≥100°) for front-panel indication.

Help him select a suitable LED from DigiKey.

Make sure it is bright enough for clear indication, easy to see from different angles, and reliable in industrial temperatures.
