WTB: Wanted to BUY: Your un-needed LED EMITTERS!!

[Kaokin]

I am looking to buy your un-needed LED emitters that you have kicking around without a home! It doesnt really matter what flashlight they came from, but the catch is they all have to be the same. Im sure some of you who build pointers must have a pile of LED emitters somewhere!! If you have groups of like emitters i will consider those too, just et me know what you have and ill figure out if i can use it

I am looking for any white emitters in the 1-3+ watt range. Cree emitters or similar would work great. I am also looking for high intensity blue and purple(UltraViolet) emitters as well.

I only need around 50-60 of them but i am willing to buy up to 100+ if you have them and the price is right! Please let me know how many you have available and which flashlight they were extracted from (or the make/model of the emitter) so that i can research the emitter specs online (the kelvin rating is impornant to me). I am trying to make a light for my fishtank; any help is appreciated!!

Nice!, I would be willing to bet that Jayrob has a crap load of them, Igor too. I only have 2 Q5 Cree emitters. They are VERY bright. They came out of this DealExtreme: $15.75 UltraFire WF-C6S Cree Q5-WC 3-Mode 230-Lumen Memory LED Flashlight (1*CR123A/1*16340)

Might I ask what you are using all of these LED emitters for?

A light for his fishtank

I guess that would work if you were making it a Fish Fryer

The Led's are to light my fish tank... I am going to make a prototype for my 10 gallon tank and then if it is satisfactory i want enough LEDs to make one for my 75 gallon tank! I will need to do testing for lux ratings and PAR values at deifferent depths trhough out the tank, and these white LEDS will be supplemented with blue leds to achieve a kelvin temperature somewhere in the 12,000k-20,000k range. Add in a few 390nm-405nm UV leds for flourescence, mount them all to a massive heatsink with a few fans and drivers and it should be BEATUTIFUL!

Laserboy Thanks for the suggesting Jayrob and igor, ill ahve to talk to them! Those Cree Q5's would be perfect!!

Oh cool, that sounds pretty sweet. I was thinking little fish tank! That would explain it.
