Luxeon LEDs are the brightest. Even though they are LEDs, they do require a heat sink. They come in several different styles and colors. As for emitting light in all directions, these LEDs have three different "styles" to emit light. Make sure you buy the right one for your application.

Or....... you can buy a PIAA TERA 168/192 replacement for around $40 in Japan. It comes with its own heatsink and I believe it uses a 1 watt Luxeon LED. If you don't want to pay that much, get the PIAA TERA which is the same as the PIAA LED, but twice as bright.

Re: l.e.d. help...........
If the PIAA TERA 168/192 is utilizing a 1W Luxeon then it's only 20 lumen or lights compared to PIAA TERA which should provide 200-300 lumens of scattered light. If you're lucky you'll get 60%, 150 lumens will be going out the reflector the rest will be absorbed/reflected thru the housing.
Since our eyes are more or less logrithmic 10x lumen increase will result in 2x intensity increase for our eye [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]
