A few of the nice E17A, and the Azure in particular, are unobtainium. I have found a supplier who can get me a low enough price on a reel of 6000 to make it at least plausible ($0.23/LED, or $1380), could also source some of the other rare Nichias if I need. I think should also be able to source the brighter -V1 version over the original.
In order to make this happen I’d like to get at least $750 back in interest before I would consider placing the order - I don’t mind sitting on a few thousand LEDs and selling slowly but I need to recover some of my investment just with everything else I have going on.
Currently collecting interest (with potential quantity, please ). Was thinking maybe $2/LED for 20 or below, $1.50 up to 100, $1 each 100+, $0.5 each 1000+ (anyone? :P). At the moment the only known source is that Hank sometimes has them for $2 each, and I’ve only heard about quantities of 10 or less.
I can also definitely get 1850k (I found one supplier who sells small numbers of 1850k, but they are explicitly mentioned as being samples, so probably not stretchable to medium quantities) and I’m fairly sure should be able to do the whole range of E21A too.
I’m still waiting for the world to realise these exist and produce some crazy multi-coloured builds with them
Edit: surprised how well those uploads worked, especially viewing them on my phone, it appears the spectra is more different than I initially realised, DOH!
Damn, just what I had been looking for! Doing some funky TS10s soon, so I’m absolutely interested in the Azure as well as 1850K, though not too many each. 12 or 15, maybe.
Thanks for organizng this!
EDIT: scratch that, TS10 mule. 45 of the 1850k and 15 azure pls :3
