LED assistance

Since none of the sites that I know of have LEDs in stock, and I don't know the specs, will something like this work for a DIY Mako blade? I plan on using a pc5.1 whenever they are back in stock.

They're a little on the dim side, but they should still be okay. They're 3mm which means you won't get the same coverage as the 5mm, so you'll have to string them a little closer together. Also, they won't fill in a foam difuser the same as 5mm. The things that I'm looking at are MCD rating, viewing angle, and size. Current, voltage, and wavelength are usually standard and/or negligible.

damn, i'm really after that plasma level of brightness, do you know the specs on the 5mm LEDs that he is using? or if someone can share when TCSS will have them back in stock.
