Legality of older spikes
My team has a bunch of 554's donated old spikes sitting. I also am wiring a light panel (red, white, and blue LEDs in the respective shapes) using 3 spikes.

These spikes must be old... they are smaller than the ones they make now (not by much), and my knowedge from my previous team tells me that they are older than 06.

they are a better fit for the wiring board we are using... and i think they look cool!

they are true spikes though...

my questions:

1. are they legal or must I use the newer, larger spikes?
2. do they behave like newer spikes (in code, spec. labview)?
