You need a panel indicator that looks clean, not like a bare diode poking through a hole. This red tower-type LED is diffused so the light spreads evenly across the face. Fits a 1.8mm hole in your enclosure, drops straight through the PCB, and gives you a soft 600mcd glow that's visible without glaring. Solder it in, power it up, done
