This might be odd, but where do I get LED's from?

I am going to build a tri-lux bike light and want TWOK's or UWOK's. Where are some of the shops I should look for pricing? I have checked out the Sandwich Shoppe but they don't have the bins I want.

UW0K will be a tall order.

LED Supply can sell you less specific bins, but tends to have good prices

Future Electronics is the distributor for Lumileds. Don't buy from them unless it's in moderate quantity and don't expect to get an exacting bin - they might give you a choice of one or two bins if you call and pay a premium.

There are always LEDs being sold in B/S/T - probably your best bet for U/TW0K.

Try the Dealer's Corner forum. Here are a few places to look:

Thank you so much guys, especially Vortechs! I didn't even think of checking here for LED's. After checking out the links, I am going to go with 3 UWAJ's. The UWAJ's that 4sevens has are impressive and a great price.

Hi Lumbee1,

You're welcome.

If you need to get four Luxeons from 4sevens in order to get the price break, I'd be willing to buy a single UW0K from you (since 4sevens doesn't sell them individually). I think he will let you mix the two bins he carries (UW0K and UWAJ).
