No, I brought some LEDs to upgrade a few torches, these were 1000,000 mCd achieved by using 5 chips. The leads were about 10-15mm shorter than what you usually see, and so didn't fit into the existing enclosure. Also one lead had a small piece of metal at the top to act as a heatsink, which added to the hassle trying to make them fit.
