Hi, I'm new to the board.
I use LEDs everytime I can. I use them for reading lights and vehicle caution lights. The yellow and red LEDs on the vehicles can be seen clearly for 350 feet+. In both applications, I've had no burnouts and have been using them for almost a year.
I buy mine from Sure Electronics. They have their own website as well as on EBAY.
Their newest is a "High Power 10W White LED with Heatsink 400lm 1.6A" They also have 5 and 1 watt units plus the driver boards for them. I use wall wort switch mode type power supplies indoors and they work well.

Since LED's put more of their power into light, there is less heat to deal with.
