[IC] 2X3X4 cyan LED
« on: Mon, 25 August 2014, 14:47:05 »
This IC is for 2X3X4 cyan LEDs. I have only found one source for these, link below:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-100pcs-2x3x4-Rectangular-square-type-Cyan-led-lighting-beads-brightness600-MCD-for-backlight/1342964772.html

You can easily order from them and they should arrive in about 6 weeks (about 4 wks delivery + up to 10 days processing time!)

They do have volume discounts, so the more orders I get, the cheaper they'll be.

current price is:
$5.94 for 100 LEDs

I have some sets arriving and will evaluate them before charging this GB so there's no confusion as to quality. They are listed at 600 MCD which should be plenty bright (sometimes interesting colour LEDs are super dim)

Why buy from this IC?
It's easy. You don't have to make a throwaway account with them (they will spam your email and all your youtube ads will be for them) and deal with all that.
It might be cheaper. Not sure if I'll split packs or not. We'll see.
You get to have my evaluation of them and pictures from me before you have to buy it. (if it's a dud, or really dim, or actually too green, or 1/3 are DOA, I will let you know and call off the GB)

OK register your interest here! If you PM me I cannot guarantee it'll be answered, but I will be checking this topic and update it.

I will run this for a week or so and if interest drops off with too few orders it'll go nowhere. If it's got enough interest, I'll make a full-on GB for it and import the interest list from this IC.

I am happy to mail these internationally International buyers are very welcome. However you can just order from the link and most likely save some money if you like. International shipping is like $6 minimum, but I will see if I can flatten these enough to put in an envelope :p a package of these is $6.16 minimum, but a letter is 1/4 in wide max and $1.36 only :p

NEWS:
Ok so what I'm going to do for the actual GB is add colours (whichever ones are hard to get in the US (pink teal skyblue, etc.) plus any ones that are convenient for me to get (same store, etc.) ) and use a form. I'll input whoever's ordered what and keep a tally in the OP. If you add something it'll be easy for me to update it. That's why I quit updating the post here, I'll import it into another post anyway.

people can order whatever qty they want, but if it's not in a multiple of 100, I'll have to count theirs, which means it'll get shipped out last. Up to you on the money vs. time scale.

As a german who finds it hard to get cheap(ish) 2x3x4 LEDs I would be in for any color!

Maybe I just look in the wrong places. A pack of 20 2x3x4 LEDs costs me around $6. Anyway, I'm in!

Well this was more interest than I had anticipated. I will be making a GB for sure.

I will talk to the vendor and OEM about larger bulk discounts. We're starting to see the quantity where even more savings occur. No promises though.

Keep posting your interest here. I'll think about how best to manage / handle this GB and then make a post in the GB forum once I have a good plan.

Also note that international buyers are welcome. I am happy to mail these internationally. However you can just order from that link and save some money if you like.

International shipping is like $6 minimum, but I will see if I can flatten these enough to put in an envelope :p a package of these is $6.16 minimum, but a letter is 1/4 in wide max and $1.36 only :p

Oh man, What would happen if I opened this up to all colours? I think I'd get overrun with orders and have to start a webstore. I'll think on it. This may be the most ambitious way possible of restocking my LED colours. :p

Definitely interested in 100 cyan. If we wanted other colors from the same seller, would we be able to order them with you through the group buy so they can all be bought/shipped together? Totally understandable that anything other than cyan may not come with a bulk discount.

If I do decide to flood my house with millions of LEDs then yes that would be the point: I'd order a bunch for everyone to stock up easily.

It's not good to trust images on a screen. However, if it's close to the color as shown then I'll take them since I love teal.

These look more green than blue.. . but I just might get these if they are more blue than green.

The center of their spectrum is about 495 nm: closer to green than blue. It's just how LEDs work. It's very hard to find anything in this range, and if you do find something a little lower wavelength (like 460-480 nm), then it's actually just looks blue and not teal at all. You can probably alter the output slightly with a blue sharpie: I will be trying this.

It's just so hard to find good teal LEDs these days. I think the best option is RGB.

anyway list updated. we have like 3600 leds worth of people who have given a number and if everyone interested wants 100, then it's about a thousand more.
