I got mine surplus from a friend who had some leftover from a project. They're just the bare LEDs, though -- no housings or anything. I don't know if anyone makes something pre-assembled that would work well in a van, though flashlights that use these are readily available now. I don't have the specs in front of me but if I remember right the power consumption is about a quarter watt per LED (50 mA @ 4.8V).
