    Rapid Electronics do some RGB ones.

    I have two codes :

    White diffused casing - 56-0670
    Water clear casing - 56-0675

    Both are 5mm diameter LED's.

    I don't have a link on their website but I'm sure you can find them with the order codes above.

    They are not, I'm afraid. I've looked and then some. Available from the US only, I'm afraid... :(

    I can get RGBs that are damned bright - TBH not expensive so may be a better option ?

    By an extreme coincidence I got a Sunbeam PWM controller in today (although called a Rheobus it is NOT a rheobus) and they use red/blues that are very bright. And they are easily removed and replace by a standard tri-led??

    Maplin have some really nice multicolour ones that should do the job nicely-- they can transmit every kind of light in the visible spectrum

    hey Oclocker,

    Any chance of getting those LEDs now? I think ill need about 4 RGBs and 2 or 3 Red/blues? Can you please let me know how much they would cost and where to send a cheque to!

    Many thanks,

    RoB
