LED in Light blub Globe

[Prince Manic]

Can a LED fit inside the Light Bulb Globe? I'm gonna use a LED for this LEGO C64 Case he used that old LEGO Light bulb and cut the wires to act like his Power LED but I do want to one of mine and my UVA LEDs (don't ask but it will look cool), are 5mm and can fit inside a Technic Plate hole and I'm wonder if these LEGO Light Bulb Globe can fit a 5mm LED and works as a Cover for the LED I'm gonna use - this is use as temp in case it blows.

For all I know it can't: a 5mm LED will fit in a LEGO hole (e.g. in a Technic plate) but it is just a little too wide to fit inside that bulb globe. You could of course use a 3mm LED or a light pipe (e.g. SMD led under the newer 58176).

Darn - I was hoping to add it in to secure my LED to the LEGO stud with hole without using one of those LEGO Light bricks for the Power LED. - what about a 4mm size LED?
