Mouser.com, Cree.com, Luxim.com.

Bear in mind it's much harder to build yourself and it is a steep learning curve when it comes to soldering surface-mount diodes, which are the only ones really powerful enough for the job - it's just not the same, you can't use a soldering iron, you have to use a reflux oven or a heat gun.
