That wasn't all that cheap, actually. I know a place where I can get them cheaper (without the casing). I assume that you know that Lazer LED is just a name - they do not emit only one wavelength and frequency as a laser would do.
i know that they are not actually lasers but i didnt think that you could get em at all without having to sign lots of **** and basically go to far too much effort
Oh, ok. I am pondering with the idea of lighting an entire case with UV myself, but I am not sure whether to use lots of LEDs or just a cathode. I am leaning towards the latter idea, though, because of the cost/light ratio.
i dont know but there were lots of problems last time i looked at all this (bout 1 1/2 years ago tho) basically if u could find em then you had to go through hell and back to get the supplier to sell em to you as an individual and farnell + rs wouldnt stock em let alone mappers or rapid EDIT it didnt matter what quantities either
www.exabytesystems.com I bought a 5 pack of UV 5mm LEDs from this guy and they rived ncie and fast. Good brightness too.
There's this dude on eBay that sells leds from Hong Kong in bulk quantities. I just checked and he has a bag of 100 UV leds for 18 bucks with free shipping. L I N K !!! A month or so ago I bought a bag of 100 3mm blue leds from him and didn't have any problems at all. Shipping was about a week, but it was air-mail from Hong Kong - even had funky stamps!
He takes PayPal... You gotta checking account? I think you can sign up with them without a card, it's just that your shipping addy won't be "confirmed" for a little while... However, since eBay bought them out, I'm not 100% sure anymore...
ebuyer? What about PayPal? I signed up with them using a yahoo mail account and no credit card... Actually, what is ebuyer? I hear it all over these forums and don't have a clue what ya'll are talking about...
EBAY sorry not ebuyer look im tired ok ebuyer is a shop in the uk thats a ***** to return stuff too but cheap ebay wouldnt let me sign up with yahoo account or hotmail etc so im stuck atm but will have credit card in a couple of months but dont want to use it cos debit is way easier to keep track of EDIT: \/\/007 teh 1337 p057 /\11 j00r b/\53 r b310|\|g 70 /\/\3 /\/\y |<|_||\|g pH00 15 teh b357
Ya can get same LEDS in the uk for 25p each if ya don't want to wait for them cheaper from Hong kong - they take switch or delta via Nochex - ya don't even have to register with nochex either.. hint: if ya want loads buy em from HK - if a few then e-mail me..
Pies if you want an email account on my machine feel free to just ask dude .. or run your own mail server
Just bought 100 3mm Blue LEDs and 100 5mm UV Leds. By the way, you don't have to have a credit card, debit works like a credit card, so long as if you have a VISA debit card, from your bank, you can use it where VISA credit cards are accepted.
