It's perhaps worth noting that with LEDs they sometimes have two  
grades-- one for
export to first-world countries, and another for local toy manufacturers and
sale to India, Bangladesh etc. where a 20% failure rate and wide variation is
tolerated. Naturally the price of the third-world-rated floor sweepings is
considerably lower.
