Pretty fast. Most orders ship within one business day from Idaho—often same-day if you catch us early. We don't mess around when it comes to getting parts out the door.
What's included?
You'll get exactly what's shown in the photos: one 5mm infrared LED with standard through-hole leads ready for breadboard or PCB mounting. No guesswork, no missing pieces.
Can I get more info before buying?
Absolutely. Ask away! We're generalists, and as you can see—we've got a lot of stuff. But we'll give it our best shot and get back to you with a straight answer. No runaround.
