  Again, be very careful with these.  Notice the warning on the datasheet:

http://rocky.digikey.com/WebLib/Lumex/Web%20Data/SSL-LX5093SUVC.pdf

  "Caution: emits ultraviolet radiation.  Protect your eyes and skin 
during operation as UV radiation may be harmful to your health."

  These things are giving OSHA guys nightmares.  I really can't recommend 
using them as user interface display devices or in any device where the 
LED is directly visible.
