brightest 5mm white leds

moon lander · Feb 8, 2007

some ebay stores offer "130k mcd" 5mm leds. is this total bull? what is the brightest i can hope for from a 15deg white 5mm led?

anyone know a good place to buy the darned brightest 5mm leds? and how do you know when they are telling the truth about their mcd ratings?

Probably the SMJ 4-die leds are still the brightest if you've got 75ma to run them with. Who's selling these now?

The only 130K leds I see are 10MM. Do you have a link to the 5mm versions?
