from lsdiodes.com. and according to this http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz you wire it in the negative side.

from oznium or lsdiodes? i ordered like 20 LEDs and 20 resistors and i wonder if i got a free blue LED :)

can i power these off a lik ea 9v battery (with resistor).. and the resistor goes on the positive wire, righit?

same here, i got mine from lsdiodes.com and oznium.com today as well, so there shipping is fast also! plus for every 10+ you order, you get a free 7000mcd blue led!!! lol

my LEDs got here today. man Oznium has some great shipping people. ffs, the transaction hasn't even posted yet and i got my leds :P and they shipped monday

got all my leds today. some 12000mcd white ones, 7000 red ones, and of course the uv's. you think I will have to use a clear lens on my dome light for the uv's to work properly?

yeah radio shack is freakin expensive, but we all new that. it is handy though when you need something right away. I got a buttload of led's on the way, all kinds. Anyone have any experience with the uv's? I had a cool idea, install a board like darth is doing into my dome light with the uv leds(black light). that may be cool, no?

Radio shack was selling like 20Mcd green LEDs for like $1.29..c-r-a-p. i ordered 5000Mcd green LEDs from oznium and paid 1/4ish of the price (practically)

most LED packages will list the dispersion angle so you can see how wide the light is or at what angle it can be viewed.
just find wide angle dispersion LEDs

mA ratings don't really have as much bearing on brightness as the material the LED is made of by the way. Pay more attention to the Mcd ratings instead.
