Hi John,
Thanks for the info.
Audi and VW both use CREE LEDs for dashboard lighting.
CREE gave out similar key chain lights at the last shareholder meeting.

"Together with a metal loop about 1" in diameter where keys could be attached, the main body of the device was about a 1/4 inches thick, 1-1/4 inches long, with a prominent round rubber sphere that could be depressed to activate a bluish-purple light. I was nearly blinded by the brightness / intensity of the light when I viewed it directly from a distance of about two feet. Luckily, the lens in front of the LED dispersed the light in a wide arc. Otherwise, the brightness of the LED can be hazardous to one's eye. Needless to say, I was very impressed by this device which appears to be powered by a humble alkaline-battery-based power source."

Sounds like what CREE gave shareholders who attended their meeting in November.

Good luck.

Jon

John: I buy these for resale in my aircraft supply business. They are quite popular, and very good. The mfr of the key chain assy is LRI (Laughing Rabbit Inc). The mfr told me they are Nichia LEDs, and that Cree's are much less intense. I bought Cree stock anyway. I am wondering if anyone has any other view on this. Any measurements of intensity, or any specs? Karen
