www.luxeonstar.comTheir 'Royal Blue' or just plain 'Blue' lines produce that wavelength. There are spec sheets on the website that show you the spectral curves for the different flavors. Don't neglect heat sinking with these high-powered LEDs! Stick a substantial chunk of aluminum or a big heat sink on the back while you're running them. The 'Star' packages have an insulated (yet still thermally conductive) back that lets you do this without worrying about shorting out the LED on the metal of the heat sink.

Hey Guys,
Since we're on the subject of LED illumination sources, I'm trying to build a blue led illumination source for two purposes, one for a gfp stereo microscope and the other is to illuminate channelrhodopsin-2 protein. I have a paper that details a fairly easy circuit, etc, but I can't find a commercial source for the LED. Specifically I'm looking for the CREE Xlamp XR-E blue led (465-485). I can find the parent company and several "distributors" but damned if I can find one that will let me enter an order.
Any help is appreciated.
