[IC] 2X3X4 cyan LED

[dorkvader]

Down for about a 100 with taobao pricing.

Keep in mind that taobao pricing will not include agent fees, conversion fees, or shipping. I will be talking to the store directly to see if they can get me a deal on bulk pricing. They seem to be one of the better-set-up outfits, so they can probably get me better pricing in large quantity. We'll see.

edit: I will update the IC list later.

Yup, I know that are some fees if you use a taobao agent cause I've bought some leds from Taobao before from Malaysia. I bought a couple 100 of leds. It came up to about +- 15 pounds. Either way, I'll have a look at your IC later once you've updated it.

Not sure if I'm too late but I'll take 120

Unless you split with someone else, it should be in multiples of 100

[MrChunky]

Interested for 300. Thx for doing this.

[dorkvader]

I might be willing to break up a few orders.

It would involve a lot of counting though, so How about we say this:

If your order isn't a multiple of 100 it'll get shipped last XD

[ceflame]

So are you set on which other colors are going to be in the GB?

I'd probably be in for red, green and pink leds.

[cgbuen]

I'd be interested in 100!

[jameslr]

Has this expanded beyond the original Cyan color? If so I'd take 100 pink/purple if they're available.

Then 200 it is 

[Saviant]

I would be down for 100 depending on shipping costs to Australia

[Jixr]

I ordered these awhile back, and just got notified they are shipped. ( from china, so it could be anywhere from a week to a month before they get here )

I'll post pics and everything once they get here.

Thank you !

I'm looking forward to your feedback.

The cheapest international shipping I can get is $6.16 so expect that.

The only way to do it cheaper is to use an envelope, and I don't think I can get it narrow enough for size. Perhaps I'll tape them to cardstock or something.

I ordered some a while ago, hopefully they'll arrive soon.

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.

I am willing to look into cheaper letter shipping to international addresses. Depends on what the post office says. It must be under 0.25" (6.3mm) in total, and if it counts as "rigid" the cost goes up. Also, the leads might get a little bent in the mail sorter. I will let everyone know.

[mashby]

dorvader -- you can put me down for 200 each of the hard to get colors.

[whentheclouds]

i'll be in for 100 of at least two colors, maybe more depending on what you can get

Sounds good, Dork.  Thanks for doing this.

[FunkMasterJ]

Would buy a 100

[Joey Quinn]

more colors= more options for my lightsaver

[appleonama]

You never added me to the interest list and I posted the links to the other colors 

[Arcoril]

Wow, not sure how I missed this thread. Please put me down for 100 of each uncommon color!

[kitsun8]

Just wondering is sky blue an unusual colour?

[appleonama]

Im interested for 100 all colors now that I have 3 pokers 

[TLSC.wipeOut]

Interested for a purple colour, cyan, and pink

[cjhard]

At what point does this become a GB? I have interest in teal and pink in qty's of hundred

[appleonama]

Okay so today I receive the pink leds
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-and-High-lightness-100pcs-2x3x4-Rectangular-square-type-pink-color-led-beads-brightness600-MCD/2022812032.html

However the thing I noticed was that the package said  "80pcs" 2x3x4mm Pink Water clear led

I did count them and there was exactly only 80 leds

The order was for 100 leds but I only received 80. So watch out on ordering this is already an issue if they're sending less that expected Leds.

I will update with a picture later

[Soulpyre]

I'm down for at least 100 of cyan.

[balanar]

Since we'd be only getting the uncommon colours in this GB, I'd be down for 200 of each colour. Thank you dorkvader for organizing this.

[appleonama]

Packaging is pretty minimal lucky no Led's were damaged

Packaging has contents label clearly stating 80 leds when my order was for 100

Leds are very bright in low light they seem to glow evenly

led displayed in light is still pretty bright

another image

My attempt of a close up I dont own a macro lens

Overall I tested 30 leds and all worked. I wouldn't be able to comment on quality as I have very little knowledge on leds but they seem well made.
The lighting and color is vibrant powered by a cell battery.
The only disappointing fact is my order wasn't fulfilled correctly I received 80 pcs instead of  100.

Im still waiting for cyan,light blue, and orange to arrive.

[LechnerDE]

That seems to be common issue. Before we start the GB we should definitely clarify how many LEDs we get. 80 won't be enough for a TKL board...

I will be able to confirm once I receive the rest of my orders hopefully they come as described.

those are pretty.

LED's look pretty nice.  80 LED's isn't really an issue for me but...I can see it not being great for others.

[ceflame]

I just got my shipment of Cyan LEDs in. I got a bag of 100, so not 80 like appleonama got.

Not the best pictures (taken with LG G2...), but here's what you can look forward to with the cyan leds.
And yes, I know the LED isn't seated all the way in, was too excited to see the color

That's a really pleasant colour.  Thanks for the photos!

[FrostyToast]

Could you add a poll to gather interest for other uncommon colours as well? Really interested in getting sky blue.

[mtl]

I modded a Deck keyboard a while back with 3 mm LEDs of a wavelength around 505 nm. Since these are 495-500 nm the color should not be much different. It is a very nice color and pictures don't really do them justice on an RGB display. FWIW, there are some pictures here if you scroll down to the 2nd post:

I made this form up a while ago, but it wasn't put in the OP.  I think he's trying to get some things figured out first.

Have you tried putting those on a board yet? They look more purple than pink to me from your pictures.

[Jixr]

i ordered the same cyan leds about two weeks ago, finally they are now getting shipped out, maybe i'll have them in next week or the week after.

[kitsun8]

I'm in for a pack of light blues

[DanielT]

Being in EU was cheaper for me to order a cyan set from directly Ali. I'm curious how it will look on the keyboard, love the idea of cyan light.

Sky blues came in yesterday.

I love them. But then again you don't have much choice when it comes to light blue LEDs. All I can say is that they have about the same intensity/brightness of their white counterpart, which is exactly what I wanted.

So they're not too blinding? Tbh I wouldn't mind if they were bright since the won't shine through my keycaps anyways :p

[Lastpilot]

Hm, well, I'd consider them to be pretty bright. They are rated at "brightness 600 MCD" at an 80 degree angle which equates to 0.882 lumens.

I don't have many references besides the "normal" white 2x3x4mm. They are about as bright as a Ducky Shine II on max brightness, maybe even brighter? Sorry if that's not much help.

Nope, you've convinced me!
