Hi All, Was a rat shack looking for a couple of parts for a blinky LED project I have, and saw these things:
They are a interesting gadget, but at $2.49 each, a little pricey for the gadget I want to build. Any idea of another source for these things that I could get volume pricing on? Or, even, how makes them? Couldn't find anything like them at Digikey...

Thanks, Donald! Now, I need to see if anyone else sells it for a little less. Yes, I could do the same thing with an RGB LED and other parts, but I have a space constraint. I want to use the PIC to control this thing, not replace it...
thanks Again! Charlie
A 50 cent tri-color LED, 4 resistors, and a PIC, can be done for less then $1.00.
Did you read the "customers rate it" page ??

Ok, A sot-23 glued to the bottom of the LED would make it compact.

Hobby? How many do you need?
Maybe one of these would please thee?
Several available for $0.50.
Or maybe one from these guys (who list qty discounts)?
(you'll have to browse or search; they have several)
Cheers, James Arthur
Oops--I missed the RGB part. Both sources I gave have 'em, but for $1.50.

Hi James, These are all two lead units, not the three lead unit that I found. The third lead is used for control, so that you can vary the mode the device is in. The others might do in a pinch, though.
Thanks, Charlie
Now here is high power control :-)
If you have a pic to control / blink it perhaps a plain 4 lead rgb led will do.
