I want to build some lights using 415nm violet and 660nm red LEDs.


Here are some examples of commercial products:

As you can see, they range from expensive to outrageously expensive, and I doubt if they are even the wavelength they claim to be.


How would I go about making a light? What are some reliable sources for LEDs that are really 415 and 660?


These lights will be used on myself so I'll need a way to position them.

The only place I know of that may be trustworthy is http://www.roithner-laser.com/ as their 415nm led was measured as being truly 415 by LED Museum back in 2006 but I'm not sure if they are still the same quality.
 
LedEngin has nice deep red leds (661nm)

Excellent, thank you. Do you know if their wavelengths are genuinely what they specify?


I don't know much about lights but these seem to be very bright which is good.


Do you know where to get quality 415nm violet LEDs?
