Introducing a new standard for LED indicator brightness: your LED should be bright enough to be clearly visible when illuminated by a FireSword V in high mode at 1m distance. And NO BRIGHTER.pic.twitter.com/81XcBo2yir

I am always designing to the “20mA draw” figure for initial resistance value and that is far far far far far too much current for most modern LEDs. It’s astounding how bright some of the high efficiency ones are at a few hundred uA!
The original design here was for 300µA for the greens... that was still blinding behind a layer of tape. I lowered it to 55µA. That's what you're seeing in those photos. It's still somewhat uncomfortable to stare directly at in medium lighting. Yes, 55µA.

The blue LEDs on my Monoprice HDMI switch are bright enough to cast distinct shadows on the opposite wall 10ft away, even after I voided the warranty to up the current limiters to 56K... that's been fun trying to sleep at night >_<

Yeah, I don't know what's up with HDMI switches and blinding blue LEDs. Thankfully this one is tucked in a corner of the room where the light doesn't go anywhere, but...pic.twitter.com/xcZ0QpNTAD
