Mike,
The page moved, but I found them again here:
http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.asp?SID=&ccurrency=2&page=32770&categ
ory=1,250,43298
I saw something similar at All Electronics, but they call them
"Grain-O-Wheat Lights". I'm not sure if the bulbs are the same size or
not, but here's the link anyway:

| I think I'll stick with LED's. 3mm and 5mm for normal projects, and 2mm SMT (surface mount) for tight spaces. I get them for a good price, usually on Ebay. Burns cooler and longer than incandescent. bm "Have Lego, will Dremel" (20 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics)
