Thread: Wanted: High quality super bright LED's

Tweet

Anyone have a source for high quality, super bright 10mm LED's? I picked some up from Electronics Goldmine for $1.80 each - http://www.goldmine-elec-products.co...?number=G16563. The first order was perfect with nice and even bright blue light. When I ordered again, they were very uneven and fractured, much like the cheap ones I picked up on Ebay from Hong Kong.
Thanks for any leads.

Sounds like a bait and switch cheat! I've been looking for a source as well. It seems like they've gone up in price a good 30% over last year. I've ordered these in the past.

That's what I thought. I even sent them an email and they replied that they were the same item. NOT!
I'll have to check those out. Any idea how many MCD's they are?

the best place to buy quality leds is----http://www.superbrightleds.com/-----thats the only place i deal with.you cant even get good ones from radio shack anymore,shop with super bright you wont be dissappointed!

Someone told me recently to get them at Digikey but their website gives me a massive headache. Talk about user-unfriendly.

I really dislike using their site as well but they have great customer service. I've called them before when I couldn't find what I needed and they were a big help.

I buy all mine from Electronic Goldmine. I have not been disappointed with anything from them. I just ordered another 10 last week.

All my LEDs have been the same.
