Ok, the posts regarding this topic have been scattered somewhat across the board and hard to find. So as a universal post: where are the best places on the web to buy the brightest 5mm LEDs for their price (assuming no more than $1.5USD/ea.) specifically Red/White/Blue? So far I know of:

www.superbrightleds.com
www.hosfelt.com
www.8000mcd.com

Any other site hightly recommended or comments on those sites?

I must have bought about a hundred LED's from www.superbrightleds.com I had the orange, blue, and white. All of the leds were in the widest available viewing angle. The orange and white leds were pretty bright, but the blues were not as bright. I've been very pleased with thier quality control and they always seem to have the same intensity and color. Not a dead one in the bunch. I've been overdriving them at 50ma and so far only one white one blew on me (knock on wood. I'm satisfied with their prices and they ship very fast usually takes less then a week to get.
