I have done a lot of research into LED's and have a project lined up once I purchase the LED's that I will be needing.
With that said. I have looked at various different websites but some of the sites look rather sketchy. What are some of the sources for LED's. On an average what should I be paying for them and What are some things I should be looking out for?
Thanks in advance
Nick

Believe it or not, I get the best deals on eBay. There are a couple suppliers from Hong Kong on there that have provided me with high quality LED's at rock bottom pricing including IR and CMOS (blinking) LED's.
The only drawback is someone has to sign for them upon receipt as they come registered mail from Hong Kong.
Like someone a little closer and faster? Try www.superbrightleds.com - has loose LED's plus hundreds of LED products - a fun site to visit.

www.123leds.com

I've ordered from them well over 25 times, good prices, great ship times and product. I used to modify xbox consoles as a side buisness, everything from hardware mods to case mods, but the main thing people wanted was leds everywhere and anywhere, out of the 1,500 or so leds I ordered from 123 maybe only 10-15 were bad, and after a phone call were replaced for free, on hearsay in less than 3 buisness days by mail
