Do you need FORTY-FIVE of those suckers? At about half a buck each the red
ones aren't too expensive, their production having been subsidized by their use
as automotive tail lights. And ultra-bright white LED's are down to about two
bucks because they are coming into common use for flashlights and such. But
those green jobbies cost the earth... nearly three bucks each. So you're
looking at two hundred and fifty bucks worth of LED's... which is about a big
handful.

How bright are you thinking they need to be, each?

Newark has some greenies for .39$ each, but they only spec out 150

Perhaps something like this is more what you had in mind:

in the sort of quantities you mention.
