For the record, I am not advocating anything to do with burning out LED's=
=2E..

I just experimented with a single T1-3/4 red LED to see how much voltage =
I=20
need to burn it out.  5V seemed to do the trick, but then there was this=20
strong smell, which brought back memories of accidentally burning out LED=
's=20
some 20 years ago.  But this time, I had the sense to realize that some p=
art=20
of that smell is caused by Arsenic (generic red LED's are Gallium Arsenid=
e,=20
aren't they), and we all know how unsafe that is.

Cheers,
-Neil.
