Various people have mentioned model-railway-oriented suppliers who
seem to do some quite reasonably priced pre-assembled kits with an LED
and a series resistor and perhaps even a bridge rectifier.
But if you prefer to DIY, electronics suppliers will have various
`warm white' LEDs. For example, http://uk.farnell.com/1581175 at
45p+VAT each. You'd have to do the series resistor calculation
yourself. (Farnell have a minimum order of L20 for ordinary credit
card customers so that may not help you much unless you're an
electronics freak.)
