The LEDlight has the good ones-but you'll have to order a minimum of six at a time.

p.s.-I've also noticed they are offering the hi-power "warm white" 5mm ones (haven't seen those offered anywhere else)

what are warm white leds also is a 10mm 7000mcd led worthwhile

If it's the one from Hosfelt, that one sucks like a Kirby plugged into a 480VAC socket.

Sorry, I'm not at all familiar with The LED Light's "warm white" LED. I'll have to ask them for a couple to smoke - er - test.

I wonder if those "warm white" LEDs are just the same old Nichia part we all know and love, but just a "Y" color rank instead of "B" (or otherwise less-blue than normal). I have some LEDs here I`d classify as "warm white" especially next to most other whites. Not incandescent-white, but better than the unpleasent purply colour that is all too common.


And yes I`d agreee- stay away from those 10mm whites, they`re an interesting curiosity only. They make very bad flashlights.
