Blue LEDs look nice!

Blue LEDs are always a little more costly
as is White LEDs.
If one buys 10 of them, the price for each is lower.
EverLight makes low price LEDs.
At least that is what we get to buy
for best price here in Sweden.

I think it's the opposite, check www.elfa.se for instance. White LED's are usually more expenisive than blue ones.

.. as is white LEDs.

I think the english got me right.

" Blue LEDs are always a little more costly

Blåa LEDs är alltid lite dyrare
precis som vita LEDs är. (liksom är vita LEDs)

Men du har rätt i sak. Vita är dyrare än blå.
Men dom är båda dyrare, än gula röda gröna.
Och det var vad jag sade.

I picked up some cheap blue led's on ebay before christmas. Cost was $9 for 30 of them they were shipped directly from China and I got them in about 1 week. The color is very nice mounted in the front panel of an amp. Just look up "blue led" on ebay.

I was told the reason that white LED's are more expensive is because there are essentially three LED's in one package. Red, blue, and green These three primary colors equal white! Blue LED's are supposedly made from 2 led's to equal blue color....

Blue LEDS are just one LED. Almost all commercial white LEDS are made with a blue LED with a phospor on top. The addition of the blue light and the light emitted by the illuminated phosphor looks white.
