Any LED can be a 5 volt LED with an appropriate dropping resistor. ;-)

That being said, there *is* an LED rated for operation directly from a

I noticed in the new Mouser catalog that there is a line of LED lamps
designed as direcet drop-ins for incandesent lamps. Horribly expensive
at this time.

If you have a parts distributor nearby that stocks (or can order the
Mode line) you might find their variants marginally cheaper:
