Source for Small LED Batches?

[cypher2001]

I'm sure this is on one of these posts somewhere, but I havent come across it.

I'm looking for a supplier (web supplier) for some 5mm LEDs (Mostly white, but might get some colors in there) I'd like to get some good quality ones but I only want to buy them in groups of <10 pieces. Other LEDs would be nice as well. I'm sort of a newb when it comes to assembling my own equipment, but I want to get a few to "Play with"


Does anyone know a webstore that I can buy them in such small quantity and have them be better than some of the junk out there today?

Thanks

I like http://www.lsdiodes.com. I've never had any problems and they had very good prices/shipping last time I checked.

The guy that runs http://www.whitelightled.com used to be a supplier here on CPF.

I dealt with him once - he's trustworthy.

You can even get em at a much cheaper rate @ ChiWing's shop on ebay....

I tried em ... and i guess they are good... and offer much lower prices...

I've used http://www.lsdiodes.com url] for bright white LED's plus lots of free stuff and http://www.ledsupply.com url] for colored ones. LSDiodes has $2 shipping and no minimum order so that's great. LED Supply also has no minimum but $4 S&H last I saw. Both are quick and great to do business with.
