[dorkbotsea-blabber] LEDs/components?

[Eric McNeill]

I've gotten LEDs from besthongkong before. Very cheap and I got them quickly. Generally it seems to me that the quality is slightly lower than if you got them directly from a manufacturer (I like Nichia), and you may have a bit more unevenness in your batches, but for the price they have some amazing deals.

They have a large variety but in their wholesale section is:

5mm Pure White LED - 20 Degree Clear 12000mcd - 5000PCs - $269.95 ($.054 per
LED)

The same item for 1000 pieces is $.06 per LED

Also 5000 1/4 watt resistors for $30

(not local and not 3mm like the original poster requested - but interesting)

As long as we're talking online suppliers, here's another one in
the Far East that's delivered fine for me:
