they're insane small Smiley

I bought some RED/BLUE smd's to mod my tivo with (it has red/green) but lost my nerve when I got in there and saw how hard they'd be to desolder and solder back in

"Bright" is a difficult thing to quantify since it characterizes a human response to the light, not the light itself.

What I can tell you is that you'll see lower luminous intensity ratings and higher beam angles (120 degrees is common) with SMD devices, since they are not packaged in the dome-shaped epoxy housing that focuses the light into a collimated beam.

And Welcome to the boards, maj.
