    Does anyone have the part number for the very bright blue leds from maplin? i.e >=1000mcd?

    I did a search for 'led' and all the blue ones were not that bright.

    thx.

    ice.

    ps. as a result of these forums i have spent alot at maplin,
    wonder if you should become affiliated withthem somehow?

    JA25C for the Maplin clear blue high intensity LED's, rated at 5v so u need a 470 ohm resistor if u use them on a 12v circuit.

    The reason I got the 3.6v led's was so I could just swap out the original case leds without having to mess with resistors.

    They will be slightly under powered from the mobo as it only gives out 3v, but hey even if it drops to 1500mcd still damn bright.
