Kingbright makes some single color LEDs that are extremely bright for
20 mA of power. I got some from Mouser:

(available in several colors and IIR clear or diffused. The link is
for the orange diffused ones I have).

They're actually blindingly bright in the dark. I haven't looked at
them much in daylight, but they are quite visible in a well lit room.
As you guys say, these things are hard to photograph, but I'll give it
a try if anyone is interested.
