Hey!

I'm a product design student at NUIM and Im looking to pick up some fairly basic electrical components (colored Leds, holders, mechanical switchs, wiring) to make a circuit. I have no idea where I can get some though?

I know the engineering department had stuff like this but to be honest last time I was in there was three years ago so I wouldn't have any idea where to look. Are there any shops in the town (or maybe lexlip/lucan) that sell this sort of stuff ? I know Maplins in Blanch do it but Im trying to keep them as a last resort due to price/distance.

Any help would be appreciated!

farnell will deliver to you
so will radionics but they're a bit pricier.

unfortunately nothing really local for that stuff.
