J.B. Saunders Co. (303) 442-1212 sells what they claim to be high intensity
LEDs for $0.20 ea.

They may not be the same as the HP 1000 mcd units but they are bright.
These devices come in a clear package and have a tiny red dot on the side but
there is no indication of the manufacturer. 

I have no affiliation with J.B. Saunders other than being a satisfied customer.
