LED Headquarters: Updated, Expanded, and Easier to Use

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

We've just revised and expanded the huge LED Headquarters section of our store, adding well over 50 new product pages-- with new photos, additional specs, and datasheets. Every LED type has its own page now, and they're indexed by color (from infrared to ultraviolet) and by size (1.8 to 10 mm round) and by special category (for example, LED matrix displays, Numeric and Alphanumeric, Surface mount, and Self-flickering).

We've also been working on making it easier to order individual LEDs. We're no longer pre-packing our LEDs in bags of 10, 50 or 100. Instead, you can order exactly as many LEDs as you want. Just 3, or a bag of 333, with corresponding new price breaks. It's up to you. Check it all out at our brand new LED Headquarters.

Sunday, July 10, 2011

In response to a frequent request, we're now offering the Deluxe Egg-Bot in a new "ready to use" (aka, "not a kit") edition, hand-assembled and thoroughly tested by our minions here in California, and lovingly tucked into the larger box that it requires. You can potentially save yourself an hour or two of assembly time by picking one up over here.
