LED light strings are a good source for LEDs if you want to take the time to
hack them out.

The best quality LED string I found was the Sylvania brand. They are
rectified and fitertered for no strobing.
The LED in them is high quality, 3mm cool white. At 192 hours driven at
30ma, it did not fade as many other LEDs I tested did including some quality
ones. Over all output blew my other LEDs away. Unfortunately these are wide
angle beam, so are not good for flashlight projects. Every bit as good as
Nichia's without the cost.
