The 48V indicator?

Its a bog standard 3mm round red LED, you can buy a bag of 'em at your local bits'n'pieces store for a few bucks. If you're anywhere near NW Sydney I can give you a handful of 'em.

But you could always go for a different colour if you'd like .... just to customise your gear a bit.

48V voltage, its got 6K8 series resistor so that's what, 7 or 8mA current, something like that. Pretty much any LED would do.

Thanks for the offer I'm on the other side of the world though. I was asking about the value because I have two channels of ward becks racked up and ready go, minus the one lost LED, I was hoping to match the brightness of the one thats already installed. I suppose I should just buy a few and if it seems like a problem I'll replace both.

Brightness is a mostly question of current and colour. Any standard (as distinct from superbright) red 3mm LED is likely to within the right sort of brightness, so you shouldn't need to sweat this too much.

Sticking with red? Good idea - red light is far better at helping you retain night vision (or venue lighting vision).
