Radio shack use to carry that 15,000 mcd RED led. I used them as 2
replacement leds in the adjustable Starbright LED flashlight sold by
Rigel Systems. Now I know where Radio Shack got there LEDs - from Allied
Electronics - which they use to or still own. I did not know that Avnet
was part of the deal. I use to buy from Avnet 10 years ago ( tape drives
for the computers I build & sell ).
