One good reason for going to Hoss Traders is the guy there every year 
who seems to always have a good selection of LED lights and is usually 
in the building next to where GNHLUG has a table.

I've tried and used a number of them.  I see from a quick check of the Web
that the fancy ones have gotten a lot fancier.

What I can contribute is that one of the smallest I've used, which also
happens to be one of the brightest, was available hanging on the rack at
County Store.  (Dunno where you are, but it might help someone.)

The little one is always in the pocket, and is great for peering inside
a box to see DIP switches and that kind of thing, especially since you
never have to be without it.

  Who, me?

  Inova has some really cool and well-made stuff.  I suspect you would be
interested in their "24/7" product.  It has multiple LEDs for brightness and
color (white, red, and/or yellow) control.  

  StreamLight also has some neat stuff.  I've got one of their "Stylus
Reach" products, which is basically an LED on the end of a 6-inch flexible
stalk.  *Extremely* useful for seeing in tight spaces (like the insides of
computers).  They've also got a very nice key-chain light, which uses a
twist-head rather then a button.  

  FYI, ThinkGeek carries at least some of this stuff.

Did you want this in the form of a flashlight?  PC light?? Or???

I have many "superbright" red, blue and white LEDs (as well as other
various and assorted electronics components) laying around, if you need
something semi-custom I could probably endeavor to put together
something for you.

Somewhat OT: Small LED light suggestions

[Travis Roy]

This is slightly related since most of us work on our own stuff, and a 
good light and something one needs now and then (I know Ben Scott has a 
few very blinding LED flashlights).

I was looking for suggestions for a decent LED light that's fairly small 
(but the smaller the better). I would prefer something that can do red 
and/or white light.

I did some poking around and there is a lot more then I expected so I 
thought I would check with you guys to see what you have all used.
