I think you should detail how you plan to handle sorting and shipping these and if you have any major planned life changes coming up before you can fulfill a potential group buy.
Previous LED group buys have dragged on for months due to people changing jobs, moving, etc and/or simply went unfulfilled when the organizer couldn't deal with fulfillment or got overwhelmed sorting thousands of tiny LED's.
Also will there be any fall back plan if these come in from the manufacturer reflecting very different color characteristics then expected?

400-405 nm is ultraviolet. If you're expecting something dramatically different than the ebay purples you mention, I fear you may be disappointed.

I prefer to order LEDs from a vendor directly, for the reasons Spamray mentioned. But if you found a good supplier of purple then I may have to jump on this for 200-300 of those bad boys.
Who is the manufacturer?
What sort of guarantees or certifications do we have on the wavelength tolerance?
I've seen multiple requests for Cyan already in the notes - does anyone know the proper wavelength for cyan? The range of 490-520nm is a bit large and I'll ask the manufacturer on cost here, but we need to narrow down to a 10nm band. Is dead center 500-510nm the preferred cyan hue or on the higher/lower end?
I'm just putting it out there but I'm willing to buy up to 300 cyan LED's to help it reach moq. Maybe 400 depending on the price. With Nugglets and me, that's almost half-way there :thumb:
If cyan is coming I'll change the mix I ordered to about 500 cyan tbh

Thanks nugglets - that's incredibly helpful and I'm reaching out to the manufacturer to see which ranges they offer.I'm just putting it out there but I'm willing to buy up to 300 cyan LED's to help it reach moq.

Atredl and Tally810 - which cyan are you more interested in, closer to green or blue spectrum?
Also the manufacturer indicated the ability to produce 510-515nm Cyan which is closer to the green spectrum - am inquiring about other spectrum.
Currently there seems to be far less interest in 2x3x4mm so we may cut that out of the GB. For 1.8mm, we have an indication of ~8,000 LEDs across various colors, I do not minding fronting to hit MoQ on colors that are at least halfway there.
Thanks for the responses so far!

I'm more interested in a color closer to the blue spectrum but not quite sky blue.
I have some cyan 2x3x4 LEDs coming in but I would really like 1.8mm to avoid clearance issues. Obviously I have yet to see how these turn out but I hear that they are closer to green than blue.
These are the ones I bought:

Those are the same ones I posted above, and the same ones I've ordered in the past. They are definitely very green.
Which is a shame, because I love all of the other LEDs made by Ovtai. They are excellent.
Unfortunate about the cyan, but if there's a chance at 1.8mm sky blue I would order quite a few of those as well. At least 500.
I currently use the 2x3x4mm and either place them inside switches or sand them down to avoid clearance issues with Cherry profile sets, so 1.8mm would make my life so much easier.

That's unfortunate and I wish I had the right reference spectrum - I know your picture noted 465-467.5, however in my album the LED is produced to 460-470nm and shows a rich true blue (which is more accurate based on the technical wavelength spectrum), so I'm not sure but I do think a sky blue should be on the higher end closer to 480-490nm.

I'm interested in the 1.8mm LEDs (after the dismal last GB that never delivered - I still wonder what he did with tens of thousands of LEDs).
If one colour does not meet MOQ, will the other colours proceed? Or do you need to order all colours at once?
Also any rough idea about postage to Australia?
The LED price is good, especially for 1.8mm, but excessive postage might push it over what I could probably get them from China for, as most Chinese sellers seem to be able to do free shipping.
Why is this so expensive? other places sell leds around $.10-.20 per led, whats special about these leds?Take a look at the decimal places again mate

I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, thanks mate maybe i'm blind
P/S Does it has to go by 50-100 or it can be as many as I want?

Yes, the intention is to move forward colors that hit MoQ or are close to hitting MoQ - not all colors need to be ordered at once. For instance, we may not move forward all colors of 2x3x4mm.
Unfortunately I cannot offer free shipping, however I can likely ship under 800 LEDs internationally for ~$8 USD. I hope that isn't a prohibitive number.

Not expecting free shipping at all! :D
However ordering just a few colours (that meet MOQ) at a time would imply that we would have to pay shipping multiple times, right?
Or could we wait until all colours that are going to be ordered have been ordered, and do one big ship at the end?

There will only be one shipping fee per order. Once the GB ends, production of all LEDs will happen at once, be shipped to me. I'll divide them out into the respective orders and ship together!
Interest seems to have waned - or maybe people have too many LEDs already!
You can't have too many ;)
Sorry all - didn't forget about this, just wrapped up another GB before committing to this one. We'll get it going this week - still working on trying to get sample color pictures for a sky blue / cyan!
No chance for a lime green/yellow green?
I think around 560? Not too sure just guessing based on Google, new to leds and soldering and such.
What is the benefit of the 1.8mm domed LEd vs. the 2x3x4mm ones?
I guess the 1.8mm ones I've seen in the past have a fully round body where as these look like they have just the domed top sitting on top of the square body. The fully domed body fits into the notch in cherry switches so I'm curious as to what the advantage is to domed top with square bottoms...Is it to put them inside the switch housing?
And last update before the Group Buy launches (sorry for the delays) this week:
Cyan sample turned out to be closer to Sky Blue (470-475nm, see attached), so good news for Sky Blue lovers, not so great news for anyone who wanted a greenish hue.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/WRbK8rX.jpg)
Finishing the set up of the page for ordering on the site as we speak. Thanks for everyone's patience (hope there's still interest as it seems I'm talking to myself, but also mea culpa for the slow start to the thread).
We'll take orders for about 3 weeks before submitting production numbers to the manufacturer.

Oooo, that looks nice. Those are 1.8mm? And what would the per unit price be on them?
I'm definitely in.
Alot of vendors are currently out of 1.8. Now is a great time to start this GB. Im also in

Awesome. How long are you planning on keeping it open?
Order. Sent you an email though as I want to add another orange to my original order. is in
Still waiting for GB thread approval... sorry for the delay everyone, not sure why!
