I am looking for a couple of NW or WW high CRI 5mm LEDs

I have a lighted headband magnifier that I use when assembling boards. The stock LEDs are very cold white and almost make my eyes hurt. I really could use 2 or 3 high CRI standard 5mm LEDs for it, I do not need 100 and I can’t seem to find per LED sales of them in the US.

Anyone out there have any extras?

Not 5mm, but if driven lightly, not really in need of heat sinking either… Very warm ~2700K and nice CRI at that tint… Might be worth mounting on some Aluminum 10mm stars and surface mounting for the mule effect…

Hope these help… No small packs of 5mm from what I have seen….

Where have you found them by the 100 and what was the price on that?

Look at cree c513a in WW at mouser $0.22 a piece at 10 units or$0.24 per at less than 10

Last year I bought a bag-full of 3200K 96CRI 5mm leds from Yuji leds. If you send me your address I could send 4 of them to you, they are really nice and cosy and have very good output :slight_smile:

They also sell them in 96CRI 5600K (nothing in between), but per 100, and the shipping costs are really ugly if your order is not bigger than that.
