LEDS Red Green Blue White

[kiyoukan]

I am starting a group buy for a large amount of leds.
I have gotten many prices on them and a few other members are looking into it as well.
My goal is to get enough people to place a order no smaller that 10,000 units
These will be:
5mm round leds with flange
Clear lens
View angle: 15-30 deg
Color: Red, Blue, Green, White.
i am trying to get good quality as well as good price a balance between the two.
There is somewhat of a small issue they come in bags of 1,000 so please i would hate to have to count out 600 or so for a person, but i think i might have to. this can be worked out latter
I am getting rate at around 190-250 (shipping included) for 10,000 leds
So if you order 1000 leds The price goes to around 19-25 dollars a person.
You are more than welcome to find a supplier and find rates and if anyone finds anything better than what i got atm i would have no issue using them.
I am looking to get the best for all of us.
This thread has some of the info posted just read threw and you will see.

[Digger]

are you still planning on getting some led's?

 

[bobhaha]

I'm still in for the amount specified before...

 

[potatorage]

I'd be interested in 1000 white LEDs, depending on the brightness.

 

[Digger]

good maybe we can get this moving again!

 

[kiyoukan]

Sorry about the delay,
I was on vacation.
Yes i am still interested in getting the leds, i was hoping to get a quote of those nichia leds or something from anther more reputable dealer but its fine.
If e want to do a test i found a guy in the us that i can buy a few from very cheap to test.
This will take a bit of time to get shipped and then test them or we can go with the factories from china and save a bit of money it is up to you guys.

 

[Digger]

It really doesn't matter to me. I figure that most of them come from China anyways. It would be nice to get 1000 for $15-$20. That's just my opinion.

Hey any more luck on this? If you're not going to act on it, can you at least provide some of the distributor information? I could buy a batch or two and test them out.

 

[kiyoukan]

i can see if i can dig up my emails. will take some time.

 

[Bionic-Badger]

Thanks! I'd love to buy an assload of LEDs, especially at those prices.

 

[blackspirit]

If this does end up taking place, I would be up for 1000 of each colour.

Cheers

You guys do realize they are on the Bay for that price, right?

100 5mm led items - Get great deals on LEDs, 5mm led items on eBay.com!

100 for 2.19 shipped, single colors on the next pages. I ordered a bunch last year, some sellers will give you a WS discount.

 

[kiyoukan]

well then we can go threw an ebay seller then and see if we get enough volume discount to make reshipping worth it.

 

[Bionic-Badger]

Hmm, the going rate for most LEDs on eBay is about 3 cents per LED in 1000x quantities, compared to about 2 cents per LED from what kiyoukan was looking at before. That can shave off 1/3rd the price in large orders, or guarantee a higher grade LED. I'm not sure what grade of LEDs those eBay sellers are providing.

 

[kiyoukan]

i am unsure of the grade there is no way to tell until the order is placed.

 

[stekelzak]

The ones I ordered last year (100 in 5 color-packs) were pretty bright and the cheapest on ebay then. Everyone I tested worked. 1 LED could light up an entire room at night. I don't know how many mcd they truly were though.

The LED's in the other topic might be better, don't know, I meant it more as an alternative for ordering huge quantities and reshipping

EDIT: Strangely enough they seem to get more expensive per LED in bigger quantities, 1000 is more expensive than 10x100, even without additional discount
