Cheap super bright 12v leds

A source for cheap super bright 12v LED's was mentioned in chat last night-
http://superbrightleds.com/1157.htm
It looks like a very simple cheap way to light up a trackball or some buttons. No figuring out or wiring diodes simply hook them to 12v and go.

Another nice thing about these is that they are T 3 1/4 wedge base - which means they fit into the sockets provided on Happ coin doors and illuminated push buttons and are much cheaper than the $14.25 white wedge base Leds Happ sells

I have recently added two of the wedge type leds for my trackball and I am also using them to light the coin doors.  They seem to work great.  The 1157 type leds put out a lot of light.  I am planning on using it instead of the wedge type for the trackball.  The wedge type lights the trackball, but I have them mounted like the typical trackball lights and the main part of the light from the leds is not in the correct direction (still works good though).  When I was testing the 1157 types, they were held under the trackball and lit up the ball really well (it also put a lighted spot on the ceiling), but a mounting bracket has to be put together to attach it to the trackball.

I ordered some extras (wedge type and 1157/1156 type) that will soon be sent to Kevin Steele for a proper review.

IMO, they seem like a good alternative for functionality and price.

I've used this company many times for my personal and school projects. Very very fast shipping. Plus, you get a free ugly sticker!
