Radio Shack has another hi-brightness LED, the SLA-591LT3 (276-066A)
rated @ 500mcd, 20ma, Pd 100mW, 660nm. Price is $1.19 ea.

Also, they have super-bright yellow LED's, #276-054, t1 sized, 2.2v, 10ma.
These seem much brighter than the others. Price is 2@$0.69.

I've used the former for nightlights, darkroom lighting and indicators on 
my bike. They are much more noticable at night that are the stock lights.

A bank of ten (soon to be twenty) of the latter LED's light up my 
workstation and radio listening position. They also fit the mini-Mag-Light
when the ridge is shaved off, making a nice, virtually unbreakable flash-
light.
