Where to Buy Parts????

[Greebe]

So I am new around here and have an interest in making a few LED lights from scratch. I own a tool and die machine shop and will machine most of the parts from 6061 aluminum and anodize them.

The things I am having a hard time finding is parts such as the reflector and the forward clickie switch's.

Through this site I found DealExtreme, which has more LED's than I know what to do with, but that seems to be about it.

Any recommendations as to where to buy parts for making LED lights from the ground up? Reflectors & Clickies?

Thanks
Greebe

There are empty light bodies on dealextreme if that's where you want to start(the empty light). Look at their DIY section. Also look around here and maybe the Marketplace because people also sell parts for lights and also post links to other sites that sell parts. DX also has other parts such as optics, drivers, reflectors, and so on.

Cutter Electronics, Flashlightlens.com, Litemania.com, The Sandwich Shoppe, and TaskLED come to mind.
