I have an application where side-firing versions of traditional leaded LEDs would be the bee's knees. So far I haven't found any, and searching the suppliers' on-line cattledogs is incredibly tedious and so far unrewarding.
Is anyone aware of these devices, and a source?
We've used them, though they were more as indicators rather than illumination (not very bright). Look in DigiKey under "mounting type: Surface mount - right angle".
But the OP wants leaded.
OP: Search Digikey for "LEDs - Circuit Board Indicators", then select mounting type of "through-hole, leaded". There's tons-o.
