Less known led manufacturers

[hukka]

I was browsing tme.eu for colored power leds, but almost all were unknown to me. Anyone ever heard of Huey Jann, Kingbright, Lucky Light or Optoflash, and know if they are any good?

Hi hukka, and welcome to CPF!

I am familiar with one of your unknown manufacturers, Kingbright.

I bought several different 3mm Kingbright LEDs from Digikey, and was disappointed. Not nearly as bright as the Avago and Cree 3mm parts I had been buying. Of course, they were less expensive.

Then at work we got some Kingbright 7-segment LEDs for our hand held terminals. These were very good! Brighter than our previous vendor, and not a single defect.

A mixed bag, you might say.

Cheers,
Jeff
