So I'm sure this is a fairly noob question, but I've search around online and not found what I want... so I just figured instead of my figuring out a solution by trial and error I might as well ask the lovely, highly intelligent, well informed people of bit-tech for some help The question is this... What is a good website to buy LEDs? I live in the USA and when I do searches I either turn up places that are selling LED strips, bulbs, lamps, blah blah blah, or somewhere that doesn't actually sell from their website. I'm looking for a wide variety of colors, I would like to be able to buy 5mm, 3mm, and just plain old bare LEDs, like what you would find soldered to a circuit or something. Can anyone provide me with anything? (and yes I am being lazy, don't worry I'm already well aware ) sideburns
www.phenoptix.com Phenoptix has a wide range and were very quick to sort out my order. They're UK based but international shipping is free on orders over £10, although I don't know how long it would take to ship out to America.
Radioshack? A quick search on LED comes up with this http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=led&origkw=led&sr=1
www.ebay.com There are so many places selling all manner of 'normal' leds that it would make your brain implode; just gotta not be lazy and try a few different search terms
I thought Radioshack also, but quite frankly if I'm buying 50 LEDs Id rather not be spending 1.50+ a piece on them if possible. I've also had bad experiences with those stores and try to stay away from them if I can lol. Thanks for the suggestion though! sideburns
sorry to thread steal here with a very noobish question but is radioshack basically the american maplins?
it seems I just didn't know what to search but I stumbled on a helpful site that helped me find what I need. Thanks anyways guys sorry for being so lazy sideburns
