I dumpster dived these from a sign company.  They were the illumination for a restaurant sign.  Two red 12v LEDs in each little white unit.
They are a bit of a mess, but the strand I wired up worked.  I just can't think of a use for them.

Sounds like a brake light waiting to be made.

Yeah, if I hadn't just ordered a bunch of red 12v LEDs for that exact purpose...

I haven't counted, but there are at least a couple dozen.  I will try to drop them off at the HF.  I will also check that dumpster more regularly.

Cool. Could be some time before I'm getting my tail light on, and I
have one I provisionally like, but they may inspire me.

I dropped off a plastic grocery bag on Saturday with these LEDs I didn't know the fellow I gave them to, sorry. I just gave then to guy standing by the door and asked him to put them on the up for grabs shelf.

I grabbed some of them, but there are plenty left on the "up for grabs" shelf. (Or at least there were on Saturday afternoon. )
