Numerous people have said to get my RED Westfalia water level LEDs at radio
shack.

I have been to radio shack and found they have LEDs of many different
values and voltages. I was overwhelmed by the number of choices they had
and left the store feeling that I needed additional research. I was worried
that if I got the wrong value, I could put excessive strain on the
Westfalia chip in there and burn it out or that I would have to go by
experimentation, putting in many different types until one seemed to work,
and wreck my circuit board through sloppy soldering.

Can anyone advise me of the proper voltage and value for the LED I want?
(low water level red LED)?
