Radio Shack has LEDs

What are you using them for?

We use them in the centerpeices in my work. Clear vase + Clear aquarium rocks = nice flame free/candle light like table vases. Currently the battery life on ours is about 24 hours, but I know from the sign industry that the LED's bulbs should last like 10 years. Just hoping I can save my work money & me time setting up every night.

You can make your batteries last longer if you use more batteries. I know this may sound strange, but if you wire the batteries in parellel, you can essentially double the life your were getting out of it.

well, as for right now, they're using floral display ones, so I believe that they're spending alot of extra money on them, since they're submergeable. (We don't put them under water..) Unfortunalty, the batterys cost that same amount as the whole deal with batteries does. We really need something that would run off of a watch battery, or something, just really need the longer life out of them. If we could get a whole week out of each battery, we'd still be doing loads better. (right now I have to turn them all on every night/ off at the end of the night)
