Got a couple hundred Stars in today, but the supplier didn't have any of the optics. What's the best and/or cheapest place to get a few from?

Gonna have loads of fun building stuff to write about on my site, muahahaha...

Re: Where\'s the best place to get a few Luxeon optics?

I got a bunch of surplus stars to play with, so I don't feel bad if I blow up a few. (And given my penchant for playing with power MOSFETs and overdriving techniques, this is a real issue.) Some are M brightness, some are N, and although most are 3 color I have a P1 and a few N5s. Not the brightest I've heard of, but way more powerful than the Nichias I've been using.

When I get some good circuits and prototypes built up I'll invest in some of the "good" ones and do a little transplant surgery.
