We live in a world market.

Make sure when you search look in the foreign languages too

thanks but i had a good look and they don't either. the search continues...

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #9 on:** July 31, 2008, 09:16:34 PM »

There are about 30 websites just use google to search with "0603 pink" led

That way it will only return 0603 pink if you don't it returns all pink leds.

You can then click on translate page.

I know you will find someone to order from.

i had a few of these given to me when i was modding my freinds psp. Not to sure where to buy them though, well safely. You may be able to weaken red ones but im not sure how good that will look.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #11 on:** August 01, 2008, 12:59:18 AM »

But to do that u have to like give a lot voltage to drain the LED to pinkish right...

ApheX · « **Reply #12 on:** August 01, 2008, 02:04:04 AM »

I tried that with some reds. they still keep a dark red tone when i power them to 1.0v.

The problem i have is that the web site that does have them is in german. i translate it but it still won't allow me to order some. comes up with an error message but i can't read it because it's in german.

I would use UV, but i've just used them for a phat psp. (And the girl won't want them, if only she was easier to deal with.....)

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #13 on:** August 01, 2008, 02:11:10 AM »

Hmm alright ill help you by searching ill post a message on this thread later today if i find anything. Least i can do to help.

Thanks dude, i'll have to check it out later. Stupid work internet has blocked me from looking at that site (it's not like there's porn on it, thanks Amex!!!

)

I can't belive there is only one web site that sells these leds. i would have quessed there be more demand for them.

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #15 on:** August 01, 2008, 09:59:16 AM »

I must have been minus a few brain cells.

There is another solution to your problem.

Just buy RGB leds and bias them to pink.

You can find them here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/New-50X-SMD-SMT-PLCC-4-MultiColor-RGB-LED-Freeship_W0QQitemZ250076116499QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

You would just hook them to 3.3volts and put one resistive potentiometer on each input leg. Adjust the pot
until you get pink light. Measure the pots and that is the resistance for each color of led.

That way you can give her exactly the pink she wants.

You can even give her different colors of pink on different places on her PSP

No problem man...

ahh no kidding gr8npwrfl hmm... good idea...

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #17 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:03:13 PM »

You can then create any color you want.

Was really stupid not thinking of it before.

You can make colors that are not available.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #18 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:17:16 PM »

Dude that really cool..
Good thing u mentioned that gr8npwrfl cuz i may try that out when i have the chance...
It come with direction i hope since its from ebay....

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:27:21 PM »

No they don't come with directions but I will
put that on a list of tutorials to do so
people can play with them.

I will order some of the RGB leds so I have
them to write up a tutorial

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #20 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:52:11 PM »

Alright sounds good gr8npwrfl...and again nice job

ApheX · « **Reply #21 on:** August 01, 2008, 04:32:46 PM »

ok. the website was fine after it was partly translated. get to the page to order them and they don't accept my card details! AHHH!!
i'll give gr8npwrfl idea a go, but i might need help with that. cheers for letting me know!

in the mean time i'll keep looking.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #22 on:** August 01, 2008, 07:14:54 PM »

Yea well i tried aphex but gr8npwrfl found something better and hes making TUT on how to use the RGB

ApheX · « **Reply #23 on:** August 02, 2008, 12:29:54 AM »

thats cool! thanks for the help people. i'll have to wait for the tut. cheers everyone!

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #24 on:** August 03, 2008, 10:00:40 PM »

ur welcome bro...and that tut just check in with gr8npwrfl

sprocketme2 · « **Reply #25 on:** August 04, 2008, 06:58:16 PM »

Nice Idea, I had no idea SMD RGB's existed. Keep in mind if your using these, your gonna need space for 3 resistors instead of 1, and every led will need 4 wires soldered to it. Could become really messy. Other than than, you could have some really awsome color combinations with these.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #26 on:** August 04, 2008, 09:53:32 PM »

wat really...thats ghetto.. why 4 wires is that big...

gr8npwrfl · « **Reply #27 on:** August 04, 2008, 11:09:06 PM »

PLCC -4 leds are the size of two 0603 leds. They are the same length only twice the width.

You can wire them with only two wires.

Let me show you how.

Each resistor is the value you determined that you needed when you mixed your
colors.

The three resistors are wired directly to the led and then all the resistors are
tied together so to the rest of the system you are only using two wires.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #28 on:** August 04, 2008, 11:54:05 PM »

wow u just taught me something new that i never heard of..
but i hardly see ppl use them soo..
also because there bigger do they light up better and how can u connect more then one together...
