I'm building a DeadEnd FX Definitive Phase (build docs: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gxmU0S1H5DVRIbwZ-gi_n3PO44yy-U-8) and I'm having a hard time sourcing the LED that's used for the LFO. The recommended part is a VCC VAOL-10GDE4 which is a 10mm green water clear LED with 570nm wavelength and 350mcd luminosity. The part is out of production and I can't find it anywhere and I'm also struggling to find alternatives. The closest I'm able to get is a similar wavelength but with only 100mcd luminosity. I wanted to ask here in case anyone has built this in the past or has used that LED and knows of good alternatives.
 
Thanks everyone. I saw the one at Tayda too and I'll likely grab one next time I place an order but it's rated at ~14000mcd luminosity while the LED spec'd for this build is only 350mcd. For those more familiar with their usage in LFO circuits, would I be able to use it as is, or would a simple modification to the resistance into the LED be required to make it be dimmer?
