When I'm looking at LEDs for sale, it seems to me that some sellers give unrealistic specifications regarding their LEDs' brightness. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a resource that would give me the ability to determine when sellers are blatantly lying, so I can avoid buying from them.
What are realistic brightnesses for different sizes (e.g. 3mm, 5mm, 10mm), colours and If currents/powers of LEDs? Would you expect a different brightness between 3mm and 5mm LEDs if they both have the same Vf and If?
