I keep ordering the wrong led light for the audio on the io board
Anyone know where I can source in Europe. mouser, rs-online, digi key etc.

My last attempt was this led https://www.mouser.ie/ProductDetail/Lum ... uRagy8aQ==

what should i be looking for. Luminous Intensity?
connected with 200 ohm resistor

See this thread and post here for details on the LED specification:

If you send me a message via my website with your address, I am happy to send you a few in the post free of charge.

Thanks for the advice guys. I might take you up on that offer Nat.
For anyone thats in the same boat I found this in the other thread

The TOSLink LED should be from memory 650nM wavelength which looking at your spec sheet is correct however the brightness should be 800mcd

800mcd seems way, way too bright.

The LED listed on the wiki (version 5.5 of the I/O board) is 6.6 mcd @ 20 mA.
The LED I currently use on 6.1 boards is 80 mcd @ 20 mA, and works wonderfully.

You are indeed correct, a typo on my part it should have been 80mcd I have corrected my original post.
