Hey,
Does anyone know the width of the flange that's supposed to lock into the panel? (indicated by the green arrow in the picture)

Re: 5mm LED Holder Measurements
I don't have one to measure but the whole thing is .25 so I'd say it's about 1/8"

Re: 5mm LED Holder Measurements
I'm guessing the holder will wobble around if it's not flush with the material? I have a 3mm thick acrylic panel I want to mount these to; 1/8" is a little more than 3mm. I just don't know how snug these things are supposed to fit. Thanks for that ballpark estimate, though.

Re: 5mm LED Holder Measurements
Is the panel clear or opaque? You might be able to add a drop of cement or hot glue to fix it in place. Also the base is split so the insertion of the LED spreads the fingers out to grab the sides of the hole.

Re: 5mm LED Holder Measurements
Some models will be clear and some opaque, but going off of what you said about the base, I feel better about them fitting. Thanks for the advice!
