    Ive wondered that too. I find that most LEDs of the same physical size seem to be mostly interchangable. I just replaced the red LED in my NES with a blue one and I didnt know the specifications of either one.

    Doesnt really matter.. except perhaps the voltage the LED runs at..

    You can use a smaller size but youd have to hot glue it in or something to keep it steady? I did that with my Saturn when I put a small (yet ultra bright) blue LED in it..

    Have fun!

    There shouldn't be a whole lot of play between the original and one of a similar size. If you have a multimeter then simply take a reading. If you don't then I'm sure someone will chime in shortly.
