NEED PURPLE LEDs

[mattpas]

Does anyone know where I can find Diffused 5mm Purple LEDs. All I can find is Ultra-Violet but I really want Purple.

These aren't diffused, but they are definitely purple--I've used them on several effects before...still have like 12 lying around for my in-progress sequencer project.

This should give you an idea of what they look like--it's brighter than it looks in the video due to the cam angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzsG8IUoFko

And you could also diffuse them yourself with some fine grit sandpaper

I'd imagine Mouser has some... they had pink ones

Are these for that Barney themed pedal you are working on?

No, the Grimace!

Easy now, John--don't forget that you powdercoated that gigantic, purple enclosure for me--that thing is going to be stuffed with purple LEDs. You're guilty by association

Ravens or Vikings?

Banzai has purple LEDs! They are bright and look real nice.

I Purchased Plenty of Pretty Purple 3mm LEDs from Pedal Parts Plus, Probably less than a year ago.

They have a real nice color temperature... but 3 volts barely lights them up.
I run them at 6V and they're not nearly as bright as the other colors.
I've been meaning to buy some from another supplier to see if this is a common characteristic.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Just use a smaller current limiting resistor. You have us to 9v on tap...
