There are 3000mcd leds available from HP but they have a very
narrow beam ~7degrees.  There are large 15000mcd leds which
I know of but would have to dig to find the supplier. 
The beam can be "widened" if you rub the surface of the led
with abrasive material or try vasaline as a more temporary
measure.
