Well i found a company that has a great price on these caps. They are really nice piece for anyone who wants to add them to mini lights or use them to house leds to have them sealed. they are fauceted and have a way to lock them onto mini lights if you use them for that reason. there price is really reasonable as well. they are 2.75 per 25 pack. i would ship them out the cheapest way possible. i received 400 to try them out and they do look really nice with a light i them. the price on them are much cheaper than another site i seen and they didnt have them in stock. shipping and paypal fees should still make these extremely cheap esp if your buying alot.

so if your interested please post here and i can work up an order. they ship to me really fast, so it should only be about a 2 week turnaround or so.

heres some pics, i hope to get some tonight with some lights lit up in them.

so post if your interested an how many.

.11 cents each.

NOTE: These will fit regular 100ct minis but will need to be secured to the socket. they are just a lil short to clip onto the wire. These work perfect for the PLCC-6 RGB leds im doing a coop with right now. Hot glue will be perfect for it though as you can remove without damage to anything.


He gave me a better deal b/c i said i could try to get 2k plus. i told him i will let him know my final count after it ends and if it close he should still give it to me.

Ill give this til April 2nd and then we will order.

I'd be in for 500 of these as well - thanks for digging efforts!

Those look exactly like the caps that GE uses on one of their lines of Christmas lights. You might have trouble using them on a regular mini light; the GE light sockets use the branch clip and a small knob on opposite sides of the socket to lock the cap on with. They really do a look good though. I used to do my bushes and roofline with them (colored caps, not clear), and have several sets of them.

[KFXI]

Would these fit m5 LED lights? is there a web site where I can look at them? If I bought a large quanity would the price get better if so what is considered a large quanity

[fathead45]

added pics and info. i was caught off gaurd at work and couldnt finish, lol.

i can get some measurement tonight if you want.

as for price, it is pretty well at its rock bottom. i tried for a better price but he wouldnt budge. so .11 cents each is pretty much where were at.

[rokkett]

I will get 500 of these - Thanks!

[cypress1138]

I'll take 600

[Aproct]

I would be interested in 600 also.

[fathead45]

[Aproct]

LOL..sorry the people on here are way above me in the construction of DIY things...I like to read and absorb as much info. Try it and learn from mistakes that I make. I am really interested in this RGB mega tree...and the controllers....

[fathead45]

i was just like you almost 2 years ago. now i know too much to get myself in trouble with haha. im still learning alot.

[KFXI]

did we ever decide if the covers would fit m5 LEDS and can I get a sample to try.

Ken

[fathead45]

shoot me your info and i can try to get some couple out tom.

Bottom inside opening is 3/8
total length is 1 3/8

i do not have any m5 to try.

[fathead45]

just bringing to the top. i found that my supplier has only 40k of these. im debating on buying them all b/c i loves and once there gone, there gone:(. i have way to many uses for these to not just get them now. so just a heads up.

[steve_hirst]

put me down for 300

[fathead45]

alright will do.

[mschell]

Sign me up for 200.

Not sure what I will do with them, but it's something to play with...

[51fordf2]

Im thinking a "Tune to" sign, that can have a wave of color wash over it...

Greetings,,,

Please put me down for 1000.

Thank you.

Keith

[smartalec]

hi there,
you might as well put me down for 4 packs (100) covers please
no used having fancy leds without fancy covers.:D

[jcarney]

I'll take 100 please. No idea what I am going to do but a cheap way to play.

[fathead45]

should be all updated

[Entropy]

Ugh. April 2... Not enough time to fix my paypal issues most likely. (It seems that removing the one bank account that is successfully linked to Paypal from "dormant" status requires an in-person visit to the bank, 45 minutes away. PayPal is being epic fail as far as making the confirmation deposits to my local bank.)

[fathead45]

how many do you want entropy? im order 40k so i will have some left over, lol. im buying the rest of his stock out to have the rest for my own uses.

[vairmoose]

Not sure how I'd use them, but can't resist ...

20 packs please (500 covers) ...

Thanks

Larry.

(now to go back and bump up that LED qty)

[Entropy]

how many do you want entropy? im order 40k so i will have some left over, lol. im buying the rest of his stock out to have the rest for my own uses.

Gotta think about that.

I CAN use PayPal, it's just that I can't escape the fees for credit-card-backed purchases currently. (Although looking at the current fee structure, anything that is a "purchase" gets hit with the fee no matter what now?)

In case you can't tell, I haven't used PP in quite a while... Probably about two years.

[fathead45]

ahhh, well just let me know. no rush. if you want money order that is fine with me. whatever works for you.

[boarder3]

i need 200 covers i also posted that i need covers with my leds in other board so please dont double up. thx

[mheuer]

I'm in for 200 cover pieces please.

Thanks!
Mike.

[Dragon88]

I take 880

[tlorek]

I posted on the LED group buy page, but in case it was missed, I'm in for 100 of these as well.

[riri7707]

Hi,
Please put me for 1500 covers too.
Remember my post on RGB leds...
Discussion is the Master passworld...

Cheers, Henri

[fathead45]

everyone is up to date to this point. thanks everyone

[Keith R]

I will Take 200 of the covers as well.
Thanks,
Keith

[Entropy]

OK, gonna go for 600. :)

(Yes, that is indeed significantly more than my LED order - the covers are going to be much harder to source at a later date if I need more, and are cheaper.)

[aussiephil]

Confirmed qnty of 3600, if that is ok

[BillAd]

Hi,

I would like 300 covers if you have not yet closed the order, thanks.

Bill

[fathead45]

nope still taking orders til the end of tonight.

[smartcontrols]

I would like 400 covers if you have not yet closed the order, thanks

[fathead45]

i have him boxing up every cover he has right now. totaling 58,000 covers. im going to be buying myself the rest of them to have for my many years of projects. so right now were sitting 12480 for everyone else minus my order. so as of right now im willing to let about 5k more go. so everyone that is in on the group buy already has accounted for what they want. there are 5k more up for grabs that i can let go from what i want to keep for myself. so get them while you can cause once there gone, there gone.

i should have total for everyone in the next day or so. ill post it up in a new thread with the names. if the total of covers are not correct(wanting more) just let me know and ill change it.
thanks everyone

[Aproct]

Fathead45

As you requested

1000 crystals
1000 leds....

[brandoon]

If it's not too late, I'd like to get 500 each of the caps and lights. Let me know. Thanks.

[mwo040]

if its not too late I would like 200 of the covers. Thanks

[fathead45]

still taken, its all good.

[cypress1138]

I'm rethinking my mega tree and I would like to bump my order from 600 to 1,600 if I can. Oh this is going to be fun!!!

[Aproct]

Put me down for 1000 crystals....maybe I will finally be accounted for.....

[fathead45]

sorry, i have another excel sheet i been working on. ill post the final list.

[Michael Sullivan]

If I am not to late I will take 500 of the covers as well

[fathead45]

This will end tonight at 8pm. it will take me a day to round up all the leftovers that i have. i should have a few more availible after the group buy. i will then post up how much each is. if you ordered both i will combine both in 1 box to save on shipping. ill ship them in flat rate boxes and im still working on what qty will fit in what box. If its international shipping, i will have you just pay for the items with no shipping and once they come in i will get a exact shipping qoute and then we will settle up on shipping. that will be the easiest way. so please bear with me, i will start accepting money in the next few days and the product will be on order. i then forsee getting everything in about 2 weeks or so.

thanks everyone.

[fathead45]

please let me know if the number list is the correct one. if i missed you please post and let me know how many you want. this will end tonight at 8pm.

[fathead45]

these are closed now. i will have some more for sale after i get them in and get what i want. i will post those up later in a few weeks.

thanks everyone.

i will start a new thread with payment info. so please keep an eye for that.

[DavidHenry]

Tried to reply to your PM to confirm, but your box is full. I'd like 500 caps.

[fathead45]

thanks david.

[jcarney]

Sorry, it looks like you missed mine. I hope it isn't too late.
