Good source for LED's

These guys have a large assortment of LED's. If you are using any lights with automotive sockets and want to upgrade from incandescent to LED, they have it. They also have novelty lights, lanscaping/gardening lights, grow lights, christmas lights, light fixtures, led strips, etc. They aren't "cheap" like the china vendors you find on ebay, but they are VERY high quality. I am already using a BA15d bulb I ordered from them for my headlight, and it is 60 led's and only draws 5w. I just ordered a BA15s bulb from them yesterday, its 3 led's and draws 1.3w. I'll be using this one in my brake light. I have been running the headlight bulb since I built the bike almost 3 months ago, and it's holding up against the vibration just fine. The site is www.ledwholesalers.com.
 
You can get some of the same LED's on ebay for a lot less. I found a bulb that ledwholesalers sells for $14 (marked down from 21 actually) plus shipping, on ebay for $4 with free shipping.
 
why does the store call itself a wholesale outlet but the prices are sort of high? hmmm.... disturbing. but thanks for the alternate source.
i know china lights are cheaper, but it seems that these lights on this site are from china also right? just with an up-charge?? maybe the up-charge is justified by the shipping convenience. usa to usa is like 3 days at most, but china is more like 30 days.
i guess when it all comes down to it, i wouldn't mind supporting american companies, so i'll probably use them some day soon.
 
I would check ebay first. You ar right, they call themselves wholesale but sell at ridiculous prices. Maybe it is shipping, idk. But they are a bit overpriced on some items.

yep, those prices are scary. have to certainly agree with you there whole heartedly!

but on the ebay thing, i would have to disagree. got scammed on ebay too many times to know better not to poke my head in there. i mostly find my deals on amazon these days.

and if I decide to use ebay, i normally don't buy from there i just use them as a price comparison system. most companies nowadays will price match prices on ebay.
 
I bought my headlight bulb from led wholesalers, and found it on ebay later but it was only $4 cheaper, so I aint too mad about that. But I did end up buying a brake light bulb on ebay for $10 less than what led wholesalers sells for. I've ordered from both amazon and ebay, never had a problem. Sometimes ebay has things that amazon doesnt. If I cant find it on ebay or amazon, I probably dont need it. I only bought my headlight bulb from led wholesalers on a recommendation from a user here. He found me a headlight that would fit my forks (motorcycle forks with headlight mounts) and a bulb to go with it.
