Default 12v led lights

Does anyone know where I can get some 12v led light setups? I'm looking for either bulb type or strip rectangles. I've looked around and ony found one place but the custmer service seems to be lacking.

I'm looking for 12v so I can hook them up to a gel cell.
Any help would be great.
thanks.

Radio Shack has some, but it would probably benefit you to tell more about what you're doing..

There was a group buy a couple of months ago, but it has closed.
Maybe he will run another?

There are 12 volt MR16 LED lamps for sale on ebay that appear similar to some
of the lamps that were available in the GB.

You might find something useful in LED Fixed Lighting Threads.
(To which I have just added this thread).

Thanks

More info. I'm looking for 12v led lights for general room lighting and reading lamps. I want to hook them up to a 12v battery which I will charge with solar cells.

Eddison base are good as well as led in a row to make a light stick. Kinda like a fluorescent light with but with leds.

I know leds dont have the same throw and output as incan lights and it is hard to do floor to ceiling lighting but dim light is ok.
I have one for use in cars lighting up one bathroom but its rather blue. So i'm looking for some cheapish white ones.

Look also at Marine and Sailing suppliers - a lot of 12v LED stuff is showing up for boat use - some complete fixtures and a lot of bulbs that just replace the standard hotwire bulbs - the good news is the price has came down quite a bit in the last couple of years - Ancor is one company that is marketing plain bulbs - http://www.ancorproducts.com/ West Marine is another retailer - their prices seem to me to be high - I like Fisheries Supply better in Seattle

How about three emitters and a resistor? If you want something more efficient and regulated, the Shoppe's DB or SOB can handle up to 16V.
