No China made LED's

Hello,
I would like to buy some LED’s made in Japan or Germany or New Zealand etc. Just not made in China.
Do you know a brand or where to buy ?
Thanks very much

Hi Zac,

You’re going to be a bit hard pressed to find some. China manufactures most of the worlds LEDs, even those made for other companies are often contracted to manufacturers in china.

I’d suggest looking into products made by Cree, Philips LumiLED, and the big Korean manufacturers: LG and Samsung. Sharp also have a lot of manufacturing plants in Japan and make a range of LED products.

That said, the LEDs from China are all perfectly good. Most of the time LEDs are only manufactured in other countries for specialist applications - high power density, extreme reliability in harsh environments, etc.

Oliver
