Where to buy super bright 3mm or 5mm LEDs locally?

Looked at http://www.superbrightleds.com/

And I think I need one or two super bright LED's for my next project.

The LED will be USB powered.

Anyone familiar where I can get these LED's locally. They really need to be small as thew will go into a confined space (scope base about the size of a softdrink straw).

Thank you.

e-gizmo near DLSU taft should have it although a bit pricey. alexan and deeco is much cheaper if they have what you need.

here's their Led catalogue

I also want to buy a lot of these super bright LEDs. Red para pang rear fog lamp. DIY tapos naka aim sa muka ng driver sa likod. para duon sa mga hindi alam na may dim pala ang car nila. :D

Wala lang.

For car LED bulbs there are plenty of these at Banawe, I got an 8-LED super bright white array park light with tiny LEDs.

I haven't seen these lights personaly. I really can't tell if they are bright lights.

but they are called laser leds or ultra bright leds. I don't know if they have other colors...

they are available on pc reform and techonsite. costs 370 more or less. 12volts though. yung sa usb 7 volts lang ata.

or you can use those cheapo rechargable led flashlights. maliwanag yun, may white and bluish white pa. =)

USB powered? Do note that these ports are only rated for 500mA * 5V. You could get up to 1A if you combine 2 USB ports. Just be mindful of the polarity.

Can it power one 5mm or 3mm superbright LED like this?

Yes. I'd guess, 5 or 6 of those. But don't quote me on that.

Anyway, I'm not sure about your specific application, like, how much lumens do you need for illumination? The LEDs I have in mind are hi-powered ones that requires current in the neighborhood of 700-1,000 mA (2 watts and up).
