Well now, scratch me behind the ears and call me sparky. I live here in 'ole
Lancaster, Pa. Hmmmmmmm. Yep. They're in the phone book. Address is:
3775 Hempland Road
Mountville, Pa. 17554
FAX 1-717-285-9378

Mountville is a small town close to Lancaster. Just for a shot in the dark I
tried www.nichia.com. Looks like they invented the GaN LED. That page is
more or less just a front end that takes you to the home company in Japan.
hey also produce what they call "SUPER LONG PERSISTENCE LUMINESCENT MATERIAL".
You can check it out directly by going to http://www1a.meshnet.or.jp/nichia/
Maybe if I get some time I'll stop in to the Hempland Rd office and see what
they have.
