I made a RED LED for my Petzel head lamp years ago, it's still going strong.

1) smash a spare globe.
2) clear out the glass from the screw base
3) solder a 10mm high brightness red LED and resistor into the base
4) affix LED to base with 5 minute araldite.

It would probably be easier to buy one nowadays.
