Fast, practical quotes for IR LEDs your project can rely on
When you need IR LEDs for a prototype batch, a student lab, or a production run, uncertainty about availability and lead time stalls progress. Communica offers transparent quotations tailored to South African buyers: quantity breaks, compatible driver and lens bundles, VAT-compliant invoices, and branch collection options to get parts into your hands faster.

A quote includes lead time estimates, recommended resistors or constant-current drivers, and accessory suggestions so your order is build-ready.
What your quote will show
- Per-item pricing and quantity discounts
- Estimated local availability and lead times
- Accessory bundles (drivers, lenses, PCBs, resistors)
- Branch pickup options and VAT invoice details
For an immediate inventory check before requesting a formal quote, browse all products or view our shop-by-category pages to narrow down parts and accessories.
Specification callouts to include with your quote request
Adding these details to your quote request speeds a precise response: target wavelength (e.g., 850 nm or 940 nm), forward current (If), package type (SMD, 3 mm, 5 mm, high-power star), desired viewing angle, and expected operating environment (continuous or pulsed). If you're unsure, tell us the application and we will recommend options.
| Spec | Typical ranges | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Wavelength | 850 nm, 940 nm | Sensor compatibility and camera sensitivity differ by wavelength |
| Forward current | 20 mA - 1 A | Defines brightness and driver choice |
| Package | Through-hole, SMD, high-power | Assembly method and heat management |
