Anyone know where to find an led like this one?

Perhaps it some kinda lens with an LED behind.

I wonder if a bigger LED would do crazy stuff when it comes to clipping.

Anyways I have a store locally that sells LEDs about 3/4 that size.

just checked my local store, they have LEDs up to 12mm in diameter and they're amazingly cheap.

white is about 0.7$, blue is like half a dollar and rest of them like 0.3$  :icon_eek: i think that's cheaper than 3mm I've recently bought.



ayayay!

There's a store locally that sells them in about a 1/2 inch size.  That's probably the 12mm.  It's all the way downtown though and only open bankers hours.  :(

You need to look for LED clusters ... like these ones here .

Mind you, Vf = 6V & If is 30mA !

Futurlec has them: http://futurlec.com/LED/LED20R.shtml
I got one with my last futurlec order, but I still have to try it out...

I'm pretty sure I've seen actual 1 watt LEDs
