Need leds!

[bizarre179]

I am limited on time... where can i get around 100 or so led's for cheap? I am making lights and i need them for a design i am adding in to it.

I also just got some ss ultras and new fog lights!

[pimpalero2003]

ebay maybe 10 bucks

[cherrington17]

what color are you looking for? i can sell you 100 blues w/ resistors for like $12.

i got mine from this guy he ships quick and from the USA.


LED'S

hey cherington if you're willing to ship them here to Lithuania i'll buy them

[cherrington17]

i wouldn't even know HOW to ship them to lith.

for you, i'd hit ebay. the hong kong supplier ships worldwide. (thats where i got mine)

[Marrko]

cherington it's easy, go to the post office put everything in to a box and write this adress:
Marius Gomas
Pietine 18 - 4
Klaipeda, Lithuania
LT-93147

And your set so how about it?

I get the hong kong ones too, it takes a week or so, but they're pretty inexpensive and come in the cutest envelopes

[cherrington17]

marrko, i would, but the rate would be much higher then the standard ~$2 us dollars it takes to send it anywhere in the country here. so i'd have to raise the price from 12, to 10+shipping....

and at the rate, your better off with the ebay. i certainly could, but i'd rather you get a better deal.

got mine from this guy http://myworld.ebay.com/resistorsplus same thing fast shipping and USA half the price of radio shack

[cherrington17]

^like thats hard to do. *cough* radioshack gets resistors for 400% less then they sell them for *cough*

i still use http://www.opamp-electronics.com/~op...alog/index.php for resistors. cheapest i've ever seen. like $0.99 for a pack of 100. go with carbon film, 1/4W. (you can use 1/8w w/o an issue, but the leads are REALLY thin and annoying to work with)

I just did 50 leds

i have a holder that helps a lot. just clip led in one and resistor in other. i also have a soldering iron that has a trigger only hot when pulled. get a holder if you are geting one that is hot all the time it will help keep the tip clean and from burning your sels or table.

^^ thats what I use too, works great for small pieces

[03alerospl]

I got mine in a cheap soldering gun kit, turned out to be the best thing in the whole package.
