Where to buy super bright 3mm or 5mm LEDs locally?

Not sure about the lumens. The LED will fire into a rigid fiberoptic endoscope (Storz/Hopkins). So I guess the light has to travel the distance of the scope and be able to illuminate the area the scope sees into.

We are currently working on a video monitor system that records onto a laptop and since there is a USB socket already, I'm thinking of exploiting it as a power source for the scope light.

The LED light will be at the end of the hose like thing that enters near the bottom of the eyepiece

^ If that's the case, the LEDs in the link you provided probably won't cut it. You should consider a Luxeon LED. Too much light to start with (but dimable) is better than insufficient light.

Is this what you have in mind?

I think these cameras are light sensitive. but I'm not sure if the leds I provided is enough to go with the fiber.

We have that ENTity unit. Cost as much as a used car.

That's the flexible version. We need a rigid one (as on the pic).

I just tested my playstation optic cable with a led flashlight. despite being small, it delivers the same amount of light from the small source it came from.

I think usb led is enough. (cross fingers)

eto a usb led light: * 200pesos. though I have no idea how small is a 3mm and 5mm. lol

That's nothing compared to 2 or 3 inch "pliers" that are being used to repair a broken nose. Darn basketball teammate $!#!^%$$*!$$!!!
