Purchased some blue 12V leds from superbightleds.com
They are a great site to work with. VERY VERY fast. Plus only charge 5$ for shipping to Canada :D screw autodynamic.com for those guage cluster 12V lights. This place has them for 1.89 instead of 12$, or was it 15$?

The do lack a selection of regular blue leds. 470nm is just too close to green for me. I bought some and indeed they are slightly green-ish. I emailed them asking them to add a better selection.

So far i'm trying to purchase 10 blue leds from eled.com
it's going to cost me $15.43. converted to CDN money is 24$
if i were to be these blue leds locally it would cost
me 40$ with taxes. big saving in this case. BUT i'm having it shipped
to a nephew in the states. = $5.99 shipping. To ship to canada
it's $14. This would let me save only 2$. total US would have been 20 something which converts to 38$ CDN.

Anyone have any other sites to purchase leds from?

EDIT:
:: June 11, 2002. Alright my nephew finally came down from the states and brought me my leds :) These things are really freaking bright.
I would like to say to everyone, if you need to purchase any leds, get them frmo Eled.com. so far they seem to be the cheapest place to purchase leds from right now. 24$CDN instead of 40$ is a great savings.

eled.com was great to do business with. Especially when it toko me a few fays of emailing them and trying to figure out where to ship the leds to.

But be careful which LED's you buy. I thought I was buying 12 volt blue LED's and they turned out to be 2.2 volt. So they are great for the remote, but nothing of higher power without some resistance.

Small bump. added some information at the top :)

simply, recommend eled.com really really cheap and great place to do business with.

added superbrightleds.com
great site! very efficient!
