Parts list:

470nF 630V Capacitor (6pcs)
1N4007 Diode (7pcs)
LED
Resistor 51K 1/2W (2pcs)
Terminal 2pin

Circuit:

Circuit simulation using Multisim show us the voltage across each capacitor will be 620v DC 

and since they are connected in series the total voltage will be 1860V.

So we need capacitors with voltage rating at least 630V.
