Got a pedal project on the go and the BOM calls for a 5mm green LED and an “LDR (GL5516)”. I assume any standard green 5mm LED will work?
I’ve seen on a couple of groups on facebook that people heatshrink these together next to each other, or even go to the lengths of cutting the top off the LED and gluing the LDR and LED together before heatshrinking. Is this necessary? The circuit board seems to just show them sat next to each other and I imagine it’s pretty dark in a sealed enclosure.
Any opinions from the pedal builders in here?
(~EDIT - changed the title, I’d answered my own original question before i posted but for got to change the title)
Cheers

I am sure any green 5mm would do.
What is the projecr, btw?
