There's the SSC U-bin, which is better than the Cree Q5 for replacing luxeons, but the Cree can be brighter. Both can be found at DX. Both are on the homepage.

If you look under CPF Marketplace, in the Dealer section, Cutter is selling Cree R2-bins, and they can mount them on a star.

Could this be the worlds brightest LED:

There's a 15W LED over at KaiDomain, claiming 650-800 lumens! I'll bet it would require one massive heat sink to keep the thing from melting.

Wonder how many lumens is our sun ?

Don't worry.... There's a thread on that.

The sun is so hot that when it burns out a billion years from now, it will explode in a dying fit that will vaporize several planets (including the earth) in our solar system. We're talkin' some big time lumens and color rendition for anyone hangin' around to see it.
