Where to buy T1-1/2 bulb socket

[gallonoffuel]

Hey guys, I'm looking to procure a small number (2 or 3) bulb holders that would fit a T1.5 (like the Strion) bulb. I need them fairly small, no more than 1/2" in both diameter and length, with solderable leads off the bottom whether they be tabs or wires. The material isn't too important, I don't think I'll be running anything too hot. I have found a few that might work but none are a regularly stocked item and they seem to require large minimum quantities.

My last ditch effort will be to order a minimag switch assembly with the little metal leads and just use that, but it's not ideal. Thanks!

Will the socket portion of this work for you?

I'll have to wait until I get home to check out the images in that thread, FM's hosting services is blocked for some reason here at work. I actually didn't realize FM was selling the sockets separate from the reflector as well. Thanks for the heads up.

If it's not going to get hot, how about simple cable connectors? For example, female end of JST connectors is just two holes which work great as 5mm led sockets.

That is a great idea. I'll test one on the bench and see if it melts. Thanks!
