The UV ones are listed at 3000mcd brightness, I checked into normal LED's and they said 150-500mcd ratings. There are some on the site up to 13000mcd ratings, but its the UV that activates the phosphors on the BB's (did some reading up on the topic since that original thread) so its rated at 3000mcd from the human visible spectrum which doesnt include the UV it puts out (gonna make me some black light counterfit money testers too).

At least thats the conclusion I've drawn from my research, not 100% sure of it. Just ordered a bag of 2000 matrix glow BB's from ascarmoury and hopefully the damn LED's will come in soon.
