I have a pin coming out of a chip that indicates an error condition. Pin
will be at +5 or ground. (e.g. not a 3.3 volt system)

The output requires at least 4.7K ohms resistance, or risk pulling more tha=
n
the iMAX rated current for that pin.

PCB already done, no room for a transistor to amplify the output (next
revision).

So the question is this: What LED would you use to get the most noticeable
indication from 5 volts through a 4K7?

I'm thinking very small, but diffuse red.=20

But then I notice the ones with the highest mcd rating are always clear...=
=20

Any experienced advice?
