Title: Looking for 2x3x4mm purple LEDs
Post by: yomammary on Wed, 27 April 2016, 14:26:04

I'm looking for LEDs but the UV purple isn't what I'm looking for :

It looks blue...

Do you guys know where I can get real purple or should I settle for pink?

These are the ones I used for my indicators in my Kingsaver. They're as purple as purple can get. Absolutely gorgeous.

Those are the same ones that I have used @exitfire on my Winkeyless B.Mini and I can say are pretty good LEDs. Pink LEDs seem to be a bit hit and miss as they tend to come out a little too purple

The description looks the same but the prices are ridiculous. Try Taobao, I believe I got mine for not even 1/3 the price more than a year ago.

Even that price seems a bit high. I remember paying something like 23 or 32 yuan for 100 purples, but you have to be able to read Chinese.

Shipping times off the eBay link were really fast too, I can't comment on how quick TaoBao or AliExpress is

I'm not in a hurry though. Waiting for my plate from LeandreR's GB and I don't have a case yet.
Thanks everyone :)
