bolt on LED's? for the front panel.

[JW]

There's a couple projects around that use LED's like this SSL-LX3044ID (part#)

It's a 2V LED for the phantom power indicator in the CAPI VP312 project. I also notice the LED for the EZ1290 project uses an LED that just sits in the hole in the front panel.

Anyway, that's the problem. I don't like the idea of it just sitting in the hole or having to glue it.

Are there bolt on versions that someone knows about? Mouser part #?

Look for bezel mounted led's

Not sure what the official name is, but they do make LED "grommets", for 3mm and 5mm LEDs, at least.

Haven't checked with the western distributors, but I got a couple hundred of those from LCSC a while ago.

I use these on my Bo Hansen DIs.

Mouser seems to carry those grommets i meant, too:
