Actually, I don't know for certain where the LED was from.

For grins I figured I'd go to RadioShack and get the above item.  When
I got there I found the "exact" item, exact as in the model number was
the same.  But in the store the specs were quite different from what
was on-line: much brighter (16 mw vs 7 mw) and much wider angle (45 vs
6).  When I tried it out, it worked much better in that it was much
easier to calibrate and use.  While I'm glad that it did work better,
it makes me wonder about Radio Shack's database.
