The blue pathway LED's are 1000mcd at 20ma so much brighter for the most part. The view angle is 16 degrees.

  yeah,

  I found a company in korea doing MR14 MR16 sized replacements for the small
  Lv Halogens, in 20W equivelants. These were clusters of 15 LEDs, each
  producing about 3Cd..

  Since digging more and more, I found a maglite like torch quiting a 42
  Candela output in white, using THREE LEDs!! it was also 100,000 year (Ten
  Years continuous use) LED life, and about 100 hours on three AA cells..

  so I had a further rummage, and found what I believe to be the highest rated
  white LEDS available on the market now...

  12 Candela units, from computronics in Australia. (they are selling a bag of
  500 for about ?300 + shipping)

  The bizzare thing for me is this:

  the 2500mcd ones use 20mA at about 3.8V optimal..

  And the 12000mcd ones, despite being nearly five times brighter use, er,
  20mA at about 3.8V

  I'm totally smitten!!

  The idea of having a cool crisp light (I like a slight blue tint at the best
  of times, so the lack of any "red" component doesn't bother me) that can be
  used with normal usage patterns for 25 years and uses about >ONE< Watt in
  place of a 50W Halogen, whilst producing an equivelant 80W light level is
  pretty amazing..

  I'm having ideas of totally cool under cupboard lighting, but having twice
  as much light for about 4% of the leccy... :)

  more research required...

  as an aside, if we don't get a European supplier, is anyone interested in
  chipping in for some of the LEDs from Computronics. I think it works out at
  about 60p each. ?

  Nichia have the brightest white LED's on the market at about 6.4cd in
  a T1 3/4 package or 3.2cd in T1

  http://www.nichia.co.jp

  Not sure who in Europe holds a disty franchise for Nichia though, try
  Arrow, EBV somebody like that. I'll try and find out who it is
  tomorrow.

  Other companies to look at are Panasonic, Lumiled (Agilent and
  Philips Joint venture to replace the lightbulb with led's) and also
  Agilent Technologies.

  Although you would probably need an account with somebody like Arrow
  or EBV to get access to stuff from the above suppliers.

  Regards

  Paul
