Hi
I would like to buy some small (5mm) LEDs (colour or white) like shown in the link
https://cdn.instructables.com/F9T/BGLS/ ... ?width=614
I want to buy them from an electronic shop which sells loose LEDs and LED drivers. Does anyone know whether there is any such shop in Helsinki/Espoo/vantaa ?
I do not want to buy Christmas LED stripes or strings which can be found in Clas Ohlson.
Thanks in advance.

No idea if there's a physical shop, I'd buy from RS

Amazing how expensive they are, I'd have guessed at a few cents a piece...

Aliexpress is the ideal place. They are about 1 euro cent each and include free postage to finland.
Here is a nice collection of 300 of different colours and a plastic storage box for total of 4.28e

You do wonder how they can do thing this cheap since the price includes the postage for finland.
There is no tax due once they arrive since the value is so low.
I get all my components and small electronic items from ali express now. They are not that good for branded items like a samsung phone or sony camera but for LEDs, cables etc they are better than ebay or amazon and almost all of the time the postage is included.

I went to Bebek yesterday but 5 mm LEDs seem kind of expensive (50 cents per LED). Maybe I should try online ones.
Thanks guys for the links and information.

As suggested above - Try Aliexpress.

I prefer Ebay because of the more straight forward money back guarantee in case it does not arrive from china (happens often). In case of problems, aliexpress tends to side with the sellers while Ebay always pays you back. (personal experience)harryc wrote:As suggested above - Try Aliexpress.
just received my 1000 pcs of bright white 5mm leds (4,60 euro's) tested them all, only 2 faulty..
If god would give us the source code, we could change the world
