Check out this link. http://www.electrodynam.com/rc/index.shtml Can anyone tell me what kind of bulbs/LEDs they are using and where I can buy them? This guy's price is outrageous. I talked to him and he said that they are a semiconductor and they are ultra bright. They can be seen in the air on a sunny day. Thanks.

Hello; Heliproz?... I need to order more parts.

You can get ultrabright led's for relatively cheap prices if you get the ones with a narrow viewing angle.

The high viewing angle, ultra-bright leds are expensive.

I've found the best source for ultrabright LED's lately is newer christmas lighting

I'm working on trying to find them. I'll post something when I do. I spoke with Digikey today.. actually talked to the Product Manager but they do not carry these. I'm pursuing another lead. More later.

The LEDs alone are not enough, this also requires a reflector, it's like a tiny version of a car's high beams. My Audi uses a strip of such LEDs as daytime driving lights and they really quite impressive and visible from a very long distance. Yes, they are not cheap:

feebay is a good source of these. I think some oriental firms flog parcels that are "out of spec"..for a very good price .

the subject has been discussed on electronics forum,that's where the info came from.
