I recall that there are two manufacturers of blue LEDs: Siemens and maybe Hitachi. The Siemens' is named LB 5410-H0, it emits blue light at 480 nm and gives 2.5 mcd (milli-candela) at 20 mA. It's 5mm in diameter and the order number is Q68000-A5700. BUT: You won't like to order them. The last time I saw a pricelist they were well above $10 (or even $100 ?), so the LEDs will be more expensive than the remaining parts. Greetings, Frank.
