Title: [IC] 2X3X4 cyan LED
Post by: dorkvader 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.

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.

You might not need 100, but for 6 bucks, why not?  You'd save like 2 dollars by getting the appropriate amount.  Where will you be when the buy finishes?  You could just have them shipped wherever you'll be.  :)

ahh cool, that is gorgeous!

hmm well I really don't need a 100... and I'm not even sure I'm still in the country in ~2months or however long it would take :p
gosh. well. maybe later. if anyone has any sky blue spares then. :)

thank you! and sorry about flaking, got a little bit too excited about it.

You might not need 100, but for 6 bucks, why not?  You'd save like 2 dollars by getting the appropriate amount.  Where will you be when the buy finishes?  You could just have them shipped wherever you'll be.  :)

oh no sorry, I only need like 20. I plan to do a few, like spacebar + escape + backspace + WASD... :P since you can't program what LED you want lit on the Poker right?
was not being very clear here, uh, very tired posting.
but you're right, it's a silly amount of money to even consider cheaping out on. :D
just felt a bit meh when I noticed there was a 6+ week waiting time to get them.

I'll be in Vancouver BC in Canada in a few months, and I'm currently in my home country Sweden...

Maybe it's time do an LED buy in general?  I'd be willing to handle a color or two and the distribution if it helps.

sky blues will be added for sure.

I think I will turn this into a no-holds-barred stock up on awesome LEDs GB, I'll contact you tomorrow about organizing this.

I will split off 20 for you and keep the remaining 80 for my upcoming TKL build. Share the LED love!

The biggest downside about this will be the timing: will take a while to get stuff from China (twice)

You have to remember, that's without any agent fees and without shipping. That will almost certainly come out to about the same price as the AliExpress price.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :D

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

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 (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1D1jsmnEBnPEQppBv96wOZKy66uQTByqKqSOkkMKzAQw/viewform), but it wasn't put in the OP.  I think he's trying to get some things figured out first.

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.

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

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

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.

I received one large pack of 500. (I thought I had ordered 600 but will check)

I will have to talk to the seller about this.

Will let everyone know once I have done that.

Colour is great.

thank you for your patience but this will be converted to a GB soon.

just clipped one and put it in my lightsaver (capslock)

sip sockets are great.

Colour is a great bluegreen. My phone pictures of it are all too blue. I really like the colour and will likely swap out the whole KB to it when I have time.
on my monitor, cflame's pictures are a little more "blue" than I see on my KB.

again: will contact them about orders and shipping and counting and all that.

edit: package is labelled 500 and that's how many I was billed for, so they printed it right.

I just need to spend all my life counting 500 loose LEDs to make sure they counted it right. Ugh.

I guess they will just relist it like you have to do on eBay sometimes. I will be getting a note from them with what they have and how they can deliver it. I guess I'll be ordering at least 10,000 LEDs in various types / colours so I hope they'll accommodate me.

The vintage Olivetti i think has extra legends for euro languages.
The Olivetti that people currently talk about (and that I've seen sold in classifieds) is usually the Originative Classic Beige set I think.

They fit better than T1 (3mm) LEDs, but not as well as 1.8mm LEDs. They are fine under my keycaps, but under some very very thick keycaps you might have to file them down a little.

Yeah they do take some time to process. I think it took 4-5 business days for me with my first order.

hmm alright, msg them regarding it tho. hope everything works out.

Sky blue looks nice.

Do you have more pictures of it with the whole board? Love the colour theme

I wonder what's up with this GB and how dork is doing. I hope they are currently in the talks as my new keyboards to be assembled are arriving at my doorstep next week.

The sky blue LEDs are lighter in shade than I thought. Finally mounted them onto a board, here are the best pictures my phone could take to capture the color.

Placed the order on Aliexpress 8/22/14.

Arrived at my doorstep (West Coast USA) 9/16/14, so about 3 weeks.

Got it from another member here, but I'd assume it's the same set as the one Originative stocks.

I don't think I'll be able to run this GB. I'm not financially solvent enough to handle this amount of money, as one mistake (like paypal freezing my account) can financially ruin me.

Hopefully someone else with more than $50 in savings will step up.

I'd be able to run this if folks want. Is there any more interest checking we want to do or should I set up a thread and googly form for a group buy?

I'll probably add every 2x3x4 color from this page (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Rectangular-square-led/629743_251765645.html). Are there any others y'all want? Throw me links.

Methinks it's time for a GB.

And just checking, have you run a GB before?  While this seems simple, adding more colors will make this one a ton of work.  It might be worth running just 2-3 colors max at a time.  It will cut down on the stress of it.

That's a valid point. I haven't run a group buy before, although I do ship a lot of stuff from home so I have some experience with the fulfillment end. What do people think about running three colors as a start and then doing more in a later round?

My top 3 are probably cyan, sky blue, and pink... I would probably order 2-300 of each.  If one or more of those gets pushed back to a possible later round, that's fine by me if it simplifies things for you  :thumb:

Based on reading the thread history, those seem to be everyone's top three. The only other one I'd consider would be what they list as orange since it looks a very nice amber color. I might just order 100 of them with the first batch to evaluate the color.

2x3x4 LED and SIP socket Group Buy (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=64915.0)

Even though they come from a separate source, I thought offering SIP sockets with this buy would make a lot of sense. You can get hella more LEDs if you know you get to swap them out without desoldering!

How would SIP sockets work with the LEDs? This sounds cool, I'm very interested  :cool:

I basically works like an electrical outlet. The sip socket goes inside the switch and gets soldered to the PCB and you can plug and unplug LEDs into the socket.

Ya, this link is a really good resource on the topic.  If you want to see some more examples you can checkout my build log.  I have built two boards with sip sockets.

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58969.msg1349714#msg1349714

Edit: Just a note.  It is super important to put LEDs into the sip sockets before you solder them.  If you don't you will have a very frustrating couple hours getting your LEDs into the sip sockets.  I know some members have made this mistake in the past and it is not a fun mistake to make...

If this IC is still active, I am definitely interested in getting at least 100. If we can do them in increments of less than 100, I'd like 150 of each color, whatever colors there may be.
