Re: LEDs
I've found great success with LEDs on ebay, believe it or not. PM me if you'd like the names of the users that I've bought from without any problems.

For the most part, you can figure an LED will have a voltage drop of about 3 volts. Usually you'll find 12 volt "LEDs" are actually arrays of 4, not single bulbs (there's probably many exceptions to this). This includes the light ring that was popular this year.

When I've bought bulk 5mm LEDs, I've found that the cost can be as low as $22 for 1000 including shipping.


Do you have more information of what you're looking to do with these LEDs?
