Title: Need some help finding a source for LED lenses
Post by: Govmnt_Lacky on September 16, 2013, 11:35:45 AM
All,

I am having trouble finding a good (preferrably CHEAP!) source for a certain 5mm LED lens.

I am looking for a clear, snap-in, flush mount lens for 5mm LEDs. These kind have the ability to snap into the hole and have the clips on the backside to snap the LED into it. They also have the plastic retaining ring to hold it tight to the enclosure.

Here is an example that is close...

The type I am looking for DOES NOT have the fresnel bevel on the surface. It also has the plastic retaining ring kind of like the black plastic ones that are so common.

Any help is appreciated.  ;D

I know it's the Canadian page, but you can switch to the US page. The catalog page is further down.

Cheers guys!

I have seen that VCC carries what I am looking for (through Mouser)

I was just hoping that there would be another option. I'll keep digging  ;)

Pedal parts plus has the clear ones that are flush to the enclosure and the plastic rings.
