I got mine from ledgroupbuy. I have noticed however, that it seems the spectrum coming off these leds do something wierd with the plastic on their lenses. After a year or more, the lenses on mine are now brownish. See if you can get some without lenses.
Actually, the good quality ones nowadays take that into account...

Under reasons to buy this led over others...

"3. Silicone Filled NOT Epoxy (for Waterproof Only)

Waterproof Strips are filled with Real Silicone instead of epoxy glue that becomes yellow and faded over time. The real Silicone is also the only way ensure a consistent color temperature over time."
