L.E.D question

[evilone]

I'm planning a huge build soon that involves L.E.D lighting. I have seen a few builds on here that has L.E.Ds on them and was wondering where i could find super small L.E.Ds. The local electronics store only carries 3mm L.E.Ds and those are way too big for what im planning. I think i have how ever seen a 1mm L.E.D but i can't remeber where it was. If someone could post a place to buy these 1mm L.E.Ds that would be very helpful. Thank you for your time.

The only place off hand that I know sells LED lights small enough for models is policecarmodels, but all those I think flash and are not steady burning.

I have seen the on ebay as well

I assume you didn't bother doing a google search?

I assume you didn't bother with a google search... because I just did one and found tons of suppliers of 1mm LED lamps in about 10 seconds.

have you thought about using regular size LED's as a light source for fiber optics instead? They are very small and flexible, and if you need them in colors they come in colors too. You can literally add lighting anywhere - headlights, taillights, turn signals, fog lights, gauges, license plate lights, heck even for making twinkling stars in a diorama scene. Check out this seller's items on ebay, the guy has a lot of different things that you'll need (click on an auction and scroll down to see everything, he explains it all too):

Umm ... I don't see any Harry, is there such a thing as 1mm led?? I would go with the optic cord also.

You can also sand'em down to fit your application. Just be careful of the light part and you'll be suprised how small you can make them.

policecarmodels.com has what you need. They have superb service and very fast shipping. If you have questions, email them and you'll get a response within a day....usually within a couple hours. Highly recommended.

I think this is what you are looking for.

This question might be old but if anybody looking for small led you must go to Evan Designs.com. There are couple of way to light these led 9v or Small Coin Cell. Here are light smaller than 3mm. 1.Chip 2.Nano 3.Pico. These are the smallest out there..
