WE are currently looking to replace a failed LED but its not like any i have seen before. its a 24v unit with a 1.2k resistor fitted into it.

i know i could just change out the whole assembly and replace with a new one but this is a real work up as it involves shutting down production to gain access to the 24v connections.

Probably as well you're a UPS tech and not a wedding photographer from the standard of that photo...

Looking through the blur it seems to be a cluster type, and the resistor looks like 1.6k (brown-blue-red). What are you hoping we can tell you that you can't see yourself?

yeah not my best pictures that day.

any idears as to where i could find one? tried usual searches but to no avail.

The connection ends are 1mm flat connectors.
 
For one-off quantities you're going to be stuck with whatever the distributors stock. Any idea where it originates? Maybe have a look at Marl, Dialight, any of the other common manufacturers in your part of the world and see if it resembles any of their lines. No markings on it?

the only marking on it is 24V, this was a modification to a control panel in the UK a few years back.

was hoping someone had seen one like it before and had an idear as to where i could get them.

i think i may have to go down the route of waiting till a shutdown period and repalce this whole unit to a more standard one.
 
This looks like a 22 mm panel mount indicator light. There are a plethora of subs. Next time don't turn off the paint mixer B4 you take the pic.
