Possibly. I was considering the package/port wattage. For example,
the datasheet for the 2520 I'm using at the moment says 1W total,
250mA max into Vdd pin, 200mA max sunk/sourced by all ports. If
for some reason all the LEDs turned on that would be a significant
percentage of the limit. Not necessarily bad, but noteworthy
