These are the L.E.D's I'm waiting to be able to order, these are tiny - called Nano's
 
Neat stuff.
Digikey is a good place with reasonable prices. I get my soldering stuff from them.

I checked them out as a light source, I didn't find this Nano size, the resistors in the photo are proably 1/4 watt which makes these 6 LED's smaller than 1 resistor, I get mine from Heartland Hobby suppliers.
