Thanks Charlie, I've got all sorts of LED's from when we got rid of our business. Red, yellow, green, orange, T1, T1 3/4, rectangle, jumbo and even flashers, but we left in 2001 before they had blue or white LED's, so now I thought, what could be cheaper than LED's from a free flashlight? Just that I had to work with very short leads. I tried the yellow and orange a long time ago, but couldn't get the intensity to light up a building, and experimenting with white just didn't look natural. Dipping them in orange paint and a 2.2K resistor seems to work well giving the glow of an incandescent bulb. At least, I think so....
