Hey all, I'm looking for a company that makes LED that goes into 28mm figures . Please help I'm so lost.

What are you looking to light up? I've put LEDs in several fliers and rhino chassis vehicles. I use 3 mm LEDs for mine.

That is rather vague...

Illuminare and Powered Play are the only two pre-wired, solder-free kits marketed at the 28mm crowd, at least that I'm aware of. Most folks just figure it out themselves or, perhaps even more frequently, copy what they've seen others do online. Electricity is a tricky thing for most people to wrap their heads around (I wish it weren't so, but I'm no better), so it helps to be able to simply match LEDs, power source, and resistors to a project you've already seen completed successfully. Search for one of the dozens of build logs already on the site, tutorial videos on Youtube, or narrow your question down to the point that you can get specific advice from those in the know.

As for the necessary parts, LEDs, battery holders, etc. are all pretty cheap to order online. You won't likely need anything you can't pick up at Radioshack, but immediacy is their only real draw - you'll pay a mere fraction of the cost when ordering the same parts from an online distributor/Ebay seller.

Any LED supplier will have stuff so small it will blow your mind. You can put the in the heads of Necrons now.

Don't go too small though. In a burst of misguided enthusiasm I bought some 0.5mm LEDs designed to be surface mounted on ICBs and they are so small you can't actually see the contacts to solder wires onto.
