Ok- now that blue LEDs are under control again...
   This past weekend I saw a product that had a very bright red LED lamp
in it.  The product literature reproduced (evidently) two of the charts
from the data sheet- one showing spectral frequency vs relative output
(peak @ 650 nm), the other showing luminosity vs. current - which was
spec'ed at 3000 millicandellas at 20 ma. forward current.  No other data
was given.  Physically, it was a T-1 package, nothing unusual. 
   Now that is a very high-output LED.  Does anyone know who makes such
an item?  The fellow representing the product said he had to import them- 
whatever that means.  But he would not tell me who made them.  Not being 
a whiz on opto stuff, I hereby submit the matter to the collective con-
sciousness of the net.
