Their shipping tends to take a little longer than expected, but it'll get there.  They do tend to have some very good prices on select products as well

cheers

I've heard good things about ledshoppe.com.  I just bought 100 Ambers a couple of days ago so I'll post my results when they arrive.

You could order from Digikey.ca. Very large selection.

Just another suggestion.

Time to learn how to use the search engine.

1. Type in "led" to the search box.

2. Select "LEDs - Discrete" under the "Optoelectronics" subsection.

3. Select the colours you want (i.e. blue, blue clear, blue clear ultra, blue diffussed, etc.).

4. Select the size (i.e. 3mm a.k.a T1).

5. Hit "Apply Filters".

You should get some hits. You can select the "Items in Stock" feature to weed out the unavailible choices.

I love the Digikey's search engine. Kicks Mouser's search engine square in the nuts.

Amen on the digikey search. Mouser is such a pain to shop I go out of my way to find things somewhere else.
A fool and his money were lucky to get together in the first place.

I'll have to check that out again ... I order all my caps from them and have used the search engine, filters, the whole deal but my search didn't find anything and when I did it turned up non-stock items ...

Hey Bob-
I've used this fellow for several years now:
http://stores.ebay.com/id=70930951&ssPageName=STRK:MEFS:MESST

Takes about 1.5 - 2 weeks to get them but he's very honest and the led's work great!

Thanks,
Brian

Oh yeah.   :icon_redface:  I received my led's too.  It took about nine business days for delivery.  The few I've breadboarded work as expected, so I'm very happy as well.  $10 (shipping included) for 100 3mm 3500mcd Ambers.
