Where to get 12v Blue LED's

[Menardsguy]

I'm looking for 12 volt LED's. They have to be the blue super birght ones too. I don't want to use anything lower than 12 volts because I'm picky about creating ground noise with transformers. Anyone have any ideas where I can get them (preferrably online)?

I don't think such a thing exists. Just get a normal blue LED and put a resistor on one of its wires.

Is there any particular reason why stringing, say, four 3.3v LEDs in series on a 12v line wouldn't be a good plan? Or two on 7v? In my case (so to speak) I used 3.3v from an aux connector on my Antec True430, so I don't have to worry unless my ghetto wiring shorts itself...
