Note that if you go for 20mA then you will limit your pulse resistor
size to about a quarter of the sizes I suggested (power = I sqrd x R),
you will be limited to 1k or so make sure you test for durability of
your non spec'd leds at those pulse levels before building in quantity.




OK went and ordered some 0.22uF X2 caps ... so when they arrive will
try them out ... so with the aim to be at 20mA, am I following you
correctly to use 1k 1/4 resistors ?
