Bright, Good quality LEDs... cheap!

[jerins]

I just found this link the other day, I ordered 50 blue LEDs @ 0.38 each... they were at my house in 2 days I compared them to my LSDDIODES and they are brighter, and I paid less... so I'm a happy camper Just thought I'd share the information as I havent seen this place before!

[jerins]

Spudd I'm a long time "browser" I guess you could say of anandtech forums and many other forums! I'm not the owner of this website, I just found a good deal for once and havent heard of the site before, figured I'd share the information?

LOL Besides, if it were mywebsite, it wouldnt look near as clean.. I have problems with the HTM prorgram Need to get a book on it someday

 

[STiSev]

The one thing that pisses me off more than OT posts in this forum is SPAM.

 

[jerins]

Guys! Calm down its not spam, you can delete this post if you like. I already said, its not my wesbite, I found a good deal... atleast for me, I guess you guys dont like deals anymore. I havent seen this link anywhere and my friend told me about them, I ordered, I was happy and I'd thought I'd share with the board for once, as I have used these forums to find deals before.

Peace.
Jaton

Well you wouldn't be dumb enough to use your own name now would you?! Just seems you might be promoting (a) your site or (b) a family/friend site. Just don't do it around here.

 

[jerins]

Ah very true, I wouldnt use my own name. I've just been browsing these forums for a few months now and I thought this place was pretty cool. I find a cheap place for LEDs, order some, get them today at lunch and I'm happy.. I then let you guys know and you all diss me. Thats cool.

The only thing I could sell you would be DVDs, I dont have access to BULK SUPPLYS OF BRIGHT LEDS. LOL.

Go ahead and delete this topic, I was not trying to "spam" you...

 

[Yossarian451]

The only thing that I am suspect of is that it appears no one has bought any of their stock since the numbers are too round. I would be wary of this, though I have been looking into good prices on LEDs for making a flashlight out of.

 

[sjwaste]

Uh, spam or not, these are some good prices on LED's. Maybe the rest of you should stop harassing this guy.. its a good deal.

 

[tommigsr]

yea, this is hot. if some of you jerks can't take it, don't say anything. if you think someone is spamming, report it to someone, rather than give them hell. at least the authorities will check into it and lock the thread. jerks....

[osiris3mc]

I'm not harrassing him. By posting the information I found, I am reporting it to the mods. If they want to lock it, they will. If not, okay then. It's really not a big deal either way, it just seems a little odd.

Well you just used phpWebsite anyway so you don't need any html skills.

 

[nickels84]

I guess the one thing that I cant understand is how certain people have so much time on their hands. So much time in fact that they feel the need to make life a living hell for others. Who the heck are you trying to protect. Beyond this who has this much time on their hands, Bill Gates... maybe. Either way, know your role and shut your hole, let the mods do their job.

For the actual poster of this thread, dont let these jerks keep you from reposting hot deals, I for one actually like having more deals to choose from. I too was hazed in this way for a deal on some memory a while back. Once you get a few more posts under your belt people will be less likely to bug you. Also never hesitate to flame back, cause sometimes people dont know where to draw the line.

Looks like speck has been outed...

 

[dennisjai215]

nice deals... i wonder if i can put em in my cell phone...
and for all u flamers shut up fools
its a hot deal and it belongs in this forum
theres no referrals or whatever and its not a scamming website
so dont flame him?

 

[50]

Nice deal, I think I am going to replace the LED's in my case + optical drives. Any reason why they have a Donate link at the bottom of their page?? It's not like they're non profit...

The only fools would be someone who didn't look into things and question them. His post was so much like a rash of other posts in the General Hardware and HD forums where people on their first or second post weren't linking to a hot deal, but rather just the general site. In other words, advertising. Spam. That's what we were questioning him about. Either the mods didn't check this out yet or have indeed approved it. Either way, it seems as though as long as you have a good story, come across like a nice guy, and get a few noobers on your side, you can indeed advertise anything you want here for free.

It's a good deal, so personally I dont care. Would you be raising hell if a Best Buy employee posted some deals he found while at work? Even if this guy's advertising, he's not advertising a bad deal and calling it a hot one.. what he posted IS a hot deal. You're not a moderator, don't act like one. If they need your help, they'll ask you for it.

Besides, being a "noob" here really only means you don't spend your entire day reading and posting. If you really have that kinda time on your hands where you'll spend it policing others on a message board even though it ISNT your job, then you might consider a) employment or b) a life.

All I and a few others did was try to point out possible spam, and all we got was sheet from folks like you. Go figure. As for your comments about what I should be doing with my time, you can KMA. :beer:

 

[Yossarian451]

Well at any rate he did some good business today. He went from having never sold any to having moved some. SO since I know some of you from around here bought please report back on the quality.

 

[Bleep]

, you can KMA.

From reading your posts I would say that someone coud kiss you anywhere and hit it. In your case it is not a location it is your whole being.

Bleep

Question, do these LEDs throw a narrow beam or a wide angle?
Please post pictures of the LSDDIODES vs. the blue LEDS and, if you can, aim them towards a white wall 1 foot away.

You can use this calculator to figure out what resistor you need to use in your LED circuit:
