    There are also RGB LEDs. Jameco in the US carries them.

    lol you can get 2000mcd blue leds here for just over £1 too... things are more difficult when you want more than one element in the LED.

    As for making one - a good idea! Farnell sell 2 - 1 light guides so you could pop a reb and blue n the two inputs and have a high intensity mixed output, though it does take up a bit more space...

    Cheers,
