Cheap bare 385nm UV LED

I am waiting with the order untill next week. So it is open but i have to order in 10led steps. I need 6 i think djozz will take a few and then your orders. If we get to order 20 leds the price will be a few cents cheaper.

I think you might as well count me in for at least one, but up to four total, depending how you land with the tens for ordering. In other words, I’m flexible, so you can squeeze me in however it works out for your order quantity.

Everyone that is interested please let me know how much leds you are interested in till 09.06. So i can see how much i have to order. Or if i can try to get a better price if we get to 30 leds.

I also am flexible, if it helps i can get either 1 or 3 if you need to squeeze in, or extend to a minimum

I also am trying to make a good UV light i have a cree board that supposed to have a Nichia led and just received a lite on from Neven but it doesn’t have the output I was hoping.I would take 3 as well. let me know how to get you paid. thanks Dave

Last call!
Tomorrow i want to order the LED´s. Everyone that want on the list may speak up.
@David Krienke
You send me a PM and i answered. Are you now searching for 365nm LEDs or do you still want the 385nm ones?
If no big changes occur i will order 2 lots=20LEDs.

Let me know what mine comes out to when the order list is finalized. Thanks for doing this!

What is everyone’s primary purpose of using these UV LEDs? For observation of UV reactive surfaces, curing epoxy, …?

For me it has no purpose, it is just the hobby of collecting wavelengths, and for each wavelength I try to make a highest output flashlight :innocent:

(an example for this led : my first soup can mod: 9xLG385nm )

i’ll take 20

Dang that’s sweet! Perfect for the SRK clone i have sitting here!

Can i change my request to get a total of 6? Thanks!

@alpg88
Would it be ok for you to take only 15 so we are not having /lot left over?

sure, 15 it is.

Dam Jos i did not see your 385nm SKR mod. Nice output!
To bad that a Quad reflector will not fit the Wall-E light. But with 3W+ real 385nm light output it should be good for curing the UV plastic i ordered from ZHANLIDA Online Store. I use some of their glues for month and now i wanted to test the UV plastics they have. Two of the three are on the way.

Update.
Yesterday i asked the seller for a better price because we take 40 leds without the PCB so he do not have to solder them on the boards and can keep the alu boards. A few days ago we arranged a small discount if i take 2 lots /20leds. But the final price i got this morning was more than the price for 2x 2 lots - the discount. It was 1€ less than the normal price with the alu boards. So i want to wait what he has to say to this.
The content of what i finaly asked him is, if its normal that the price/pcs goes up if i order more + saving him time and money (no soldering needed and 40 boards he can keep).

So now we agreed on a new price and i hope that we can get the payment done today. Its not the price i wanted but its better than before.
When the money it send and i got the ordering confirmation i will give you the final price.

Thanks!

So the final price is 1€/Led + 1,50€ shipping.
I had hopes that we could get below the 1€ but he was not willing to go further. But we get bare unburned Leds. And thats a good thing after reading djozz test (the led was soldered to hot and that could damage the led. Especially if you have to reflow the led a second time to get it on a DTP board).

I try to imagine a lightbar with all 40 of this UV Leds on copper DTP boards, pushed to 1500mW real output power.
The lightbar would come with at least one of this stickers :smiling_imp:
,

Will you be sharing payment information soon? Or, wait until you have the LEDs in hand?

Thanks again for doing this little GB!

It will probably take a few weeks for the leds to arrive. The faster shipping option was way to pricey. I feel better to take your money if i can give you the leds in return. But you can decide for yourself. I will send out the paypal information in the next few days.


And no thanks needed. I got my leds also cheaper. And i do not have a bunch of leds left. So eveybody winns!
