I keep seeing these things come up as premium replacement LED's, I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere.
Do these replace any 5MM Led? If there is a web site available I would love to see it.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Like just standard 5mm Nichia LED's ? or something new from Nichia, like a high power model?

Thats the part I don't know.. Is there a site that displays each LED and it's benefit?
Specificaly to replace existing LED's in a light, for the purpose of making it brighter /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think the u bin 5 mm nichia led's are the ones you are seeking.
they can replace and are an upgrade for almost any 5 mm led.

a member grumpy may have some or may be doing a group buy.

.87 cents each or so.

I need to get more of them my self

I put one in my inova x1 - it is a lot brighter.

Sounds like you're after the Nichia NSPW500CS... If you want a hundred or more, you can get them direct from Nichia's website:

As markdi said, there have been some group buys, do a search and see if there is one currently running - I'm not sure if there is right now.
