I guarantee figuring out the correct YT link is easier than making your own LEDs.

Quoted from JethroP:$0.89 each (cheapest I fount)
Quoted from JethroP:So it has been pointed out you can buy the single chip SMD bulbs already assembled for $0.59 when purchased in quantities of 100. My cost is $0.02. When I get done updating my 5 games with LED I will have saved about $370 by assembling myself. Some people buy store bought apple pie (because they can't cook or don't want to), some people make their own (maybe because they enjoy cooking). I enjoy fabricating and learning new things....like how to link a YT video into this forum for example. Some people will never assemble their own LED bulb, whether they have no desire, or don't have the tools and skill. I don't judge...just sharing my ideas and knowledge.
I think it's great that you're doing this and sharing with the community here.
The problem, if you want to call it that, is that the math you are using to show your savings was off by 30 or 50%. I am not the first person to point this out in this thread. Also note that it took me less than a minute to find that $.59 rate. I'm sure better deals are out there, though the quality of the Comet product is top notch.
