Hi Wayne -
You HAVE to check out this site - the LED Museum !
http://ledmuseum.home.att.net/
The gent who runs it is a self-proclaimed LED fanatic.
Listed, by color, is every LED imaginable, with test results, sources of supply,
manufacturers die numbers, test firings, running commentaries and test reports.
Besides all that he also sell these LEDs and some folks even contribute to "the
cause". More LEDS than anyone can imagine, in every color of the rainbow.
Have fun as I suspect many of these my find their way to the railroad !
Regards,
Bruce Bates
