Since everyone is on the topic of LEDS - I have a little problem.

I need a LED that will display RED, GREEN, and a decent YELLOW.

I have experimented with about 10 R-G Tri-Pin LEDS  (Three leads)
The problem is that none of them form acceptable yellows (the yellow
should be like a yellow LED.)

If I over drive the green element (IE 100 ma instead of 20ma)  I get a
nice yellow, but of course the LED self-destructs.

I also know about the two pin bicolor LEDS where you pass AC through the
device.  I would prefer not to have to use this type, but if I must I
must.  I expect that I will have the same problem getting good yellows though.

Oh, yes, I do need the GREEN and RED also, so don't suggest Green/Amber LEDS.
